Last year, both WD and Seagate refreshed their hard drive series for desktop use. Back then we were positive about the new WD Blue 4TB, but we did not have to wait long for Seagate to answer. Today we test the Seagate Barracuda 4TB (ST4000DM005): how does this hard disk compare with its main competitor and all other 4TB-drives on the market?

While the product codes have changed and it is physically about a different product, the refreshed Seagate desktop series are still called Barracuda.
