Seagate announced four 14tb hard drives not long ago. Barracuda, Skyhawk, Ironwolf and Exos X14. Out of those, I think it is only the Exos X14 which uses the new Multi Actuator Technology which allows a real jump in data transfers, up to 480 Mb/s...

Not long ago I noticed that Seagate has uploaded firmware updates for the St2000nm0053 and the St2000nm033. Updating my 0053 was pretty much straight forward and the drive works well as before. Was not stated what changes had been made however.

Enterprise drives is one way to go to get a drive which at least should be more reliable than the consumer-drives. But there is no guarantee, bad luck can strike at these enterprise drives as well of course even though it is less likely to happen. The warranty is as far as I know always 5 year...

There are some tests of 3TB drives which you might wanna have a look at. Not quite sure what is the best for Fraps. But good read/write and reliability should be at least two high points. http://tomshardware.com/reviews/3tb-hdd-hard-drive,2982.html...

In the end I went for the Constellation ST2000NM0053. Uses it as the main drive and no problem so far. As I expected the 3 platter design is not quite as fast in read/write compared to the ST2000DM001, but the reliability which should be better and 5 year warranty is worth it to me. Have not...

Interesting. Is it those ST2000NM0053 / ST2000NM0033 with 182mb cache which you are using? The only difference between them which I managed to find was that the former supports Encryption. What test program are you using?

It was the Seagate drives I had problem to find despite quite some efforts. Especially with the Constellation drive. With the Hitachi I didn't try that hard even though I did try because I found these drives somewhat less interesting from beginning. Thanks for the information about the platters...

Yes I had a look at the Black 2TB as well. While it is about equal to the RE4 2TB in terms of read-performance, it writes slower. The price difference here in Sweden is not big enough to make me go for the Black instead. The ST2000DM001 however cost less than the two WD. But as long as the...

I'm looking for a decent 2TB drive with good reliability and transfer-rate. http://reybasti.hubpages.com/hub/Top-5-Best-2TB-Hard-Drive-For-2013 I've narrowed down to these three drives. The ST2000DM001 have better performance in terms of transfer-rate but comes with a mediocre one year warranty...
