Hard disk drives are today's fastest permanent storage media and have a large capacity. For this two reasons they are the most used storage medium in computers and servers. When buying a new hard disk, there are three important things to consider: - The connection of the disk to the computer or other device you will be using it with has a big influence on the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk. Make sure the connection of the disk you buy is compatible with your computer! - The rotational speed is also important for the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk and determines the time it takes to find a file on the disk. - Last but not least, the storage capacity of the disk, i.e. the amount of data that can be stored on the disk.

For storage of lots of data, a hard drive is the best option for the time being, especially now that SSD prices are rising rather than falling. Luckily there is still enough innovation in the hard disk field. Time for a new comparative test with no less t...
Bottom line Despite the fact that there are only three hard disk drive manufacturers left, you have a lot to choose from when you're looking for a new drive. It is not just about prices either. Though SSDs have outperformed hard drives for a long time now, there are...

It's unbelievable how quickly storage capacity has grown over the past decade, I can still recall installing a 1GB Hard drive into my PC back in 2001 and now we have hard drives 3000 times that size. Western Digital has been around since then and has brou...

The Terrabyte storage race is so on. Just a few months after Seagate released their controversial 1.5TB drive, along comes Western Digital upping the ante in consumer desktop space with their 2TB Green Series. As expected, it rotates at 7200RPM and has...

When we reviewed our first 3TB hard drive almost a year ago, the market wasn't quite ready for the huge storage capacity being made available. Fully compatible motherboards featuring the unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) were still months aw...

Hard disk drives have somehow fallen out of our scope recently. No, we have not switched exclusively to solid state drives. There have been just no products for us to review. Having released their 2-terabyte HDDs with a spindle rotation speed of 7200 R...
Bottom line We want to say a few words about the Samsung SpinPoint F4 first. The company decided to introduce new platters into small-capacity products and this solution seems to be right. The SpinPoint F4 is fast, inexpensive (at least, inexpensive to make) and...

Use this chart as a rough guide only, as we used an admittedly simplistic methodology to create these comparison numbers: All the test scores were calculated with equal weighting; we factored...

The 2 TB Western Digital AV-GP is based on the 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Green. As such, it also spins at a slower fixed spindle speed - somewhere between 5,400 RPM and 7,200 RPM. This allows the drive to run cooler and use less power. However, our...
