Seagate Constellation ES.3 4TB Reviewed


Recommended Posts

But I can get two 2TB drives for cheaper... :unsure:

 

It's an enterprise drive meant for businesses, but it won't stop consumers from getting it if they want that kind of speed. Otherwise there's a consumer 4TB drive for under $200 but only 64MB of cache, which is what Frank says in the review.

Hmm I didn't notice the enterprise fact. I actually prefer enterprise drives for there very low failure rate. Only 2 of my drives are not enterprise.

The costs are higher but you get a 5 year warranty and an enterprise feature set. Its a matter of what you are comfortable with.

I have been fortunate and have only had one mechanical drive fail on me in the past 10 years.  SSD's are another story.....

I think I'd rather have two consumer 4 TB drives for less money...but the results are impressive for a HDD.

In RAID 1?
Yeah of course. :lol:
