Seagate unvails a 10TB hard drive designed for consumers

[Suarez™]

Thanks to their fast speeds, Solid States Drives are the storage device of choice for most consumers these days. But for those who need extra capacity, the price of SSDs can be an issue; Samsung’s “world’s largest SSD,” for example, is $1500 for the 4TB version.
So if you want an enormous drive that can hold an absolute ton of 4K videos, photos, and games, but you don’t want to pay well over a thousand dollars, then you’ll need a traditional hard disk drive. Step forward, Seagate, with the world’s largest consumer hard drive: the 10TB Barracuda Pro.
The $534.99 BarraCuda Pro is one of three new 10TB hard drives from Seagate's new Guardian series. The other two, the $469.99 IronWolf and $459.99 SkyHawk, are designed for NAS systems and video surveillance, respectively.
The Pro, which is for “everyday desktop computing and storage,” spins at 7200 RPM, has a 220MB/s “sustained transfer rate” and comes with 256MB of cache. It also has a 300TB/year workload limit (in 24×7 operation) and a five-year warranty.
