About this product
This HGST 4TB HDD is an internal desktop drive featuring a 3.5-inch form factor and a 7200 RPM rotation speed. It offers a 12Gb SAS interface, including SAS-3, and comes with a 128MB cache. The drive supports a hybrid (HDD/SSD) feature, which is unusual for an HDD-only storage format. It also includes secure encryption, making it suitable for PC users who need both capacity and data security. The product line is Ultrastar from Hitachi.
Our take
The HGST 4TB drive offers a strong combination of capacity and performance for a desktop environment, especially with its 7200 RPM speed and 12Gb SAS interface. The 128MB cache is a welcome addition for improving data access times. I find the mention of 'Hybrid (HDD/SSD)' features intriguing alongside 'HDD Only' storage format; potential buyers should definitely clarify this to understand what to expect. Secure encryption is a valuable feature for personal or sensitive data. Keep in mind that for a PC, you'll need a SAS controller to utilize this drive effectively.
