The Seagate 10TB Guardian Series HDDs Explained – Ironwolf, Skyhawk, FireCuda and BarraCuda Drives

Seagate and their new 10TB Hard Drive series get released

 As some of you may already be away, Seagate Technology announced the Guardian Series of 10TB hard disk drives. However now I am pleased to add that they are available to buy from nascompares.com now. They feature the Barracuda Desktop Series (yes, I know…same name as before but now it has a picture of a barracuda), the Ironwolf NAS series of drives, the SkyHawk Surveillance and CCTV surveillance drives and finally the HDD and SSD Hybrid FireCuda Drives. These 10TB drive HDDs also come equipped with multi-tier caching technology (MTC Technology). An intelligent caching architecture for maximized performance, AgileArray feature optimizes drive performance via error recovery control, dual-plane balancing, and power management. So not just your bog standard normal drives, but something with a little more kick to it!
