Yes, you heard me right! That’s 12TB – which means our hopes of compiling all of our multimedia files onto a single drive has become a possibility. These helium-based hard disk drives have a spinning rate of 7,200rpm and support the SATA 6Gbps interface – therefore, offering PC users scalability with increased capacity, reliability and performance.
The HDDs are part of Seagate’s Guardian series and the latest members of the IronWolf™, IronWolf™ Pro and BarraCuda® Pro range. Created just for storage-hungry monsters like you and me, these drives cater to our media storage needs that include augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), 4K resolution and 360-degree videos.
The 12TB BarraCuda Pro HDD can meet any number of demanding data management needs from creative editing workflows to gaming to desktop computing. The drive’s high speed means that data-intensive activities like large file transfers and photo-editing are faster when using BarraCuda Pro.
How fast is the BarraCuda Pro? It runs on twice the speed of standard drives for boot and load applications – we’re talking a transfer rate of up to 250MB/s!

The 12TB IronWolf and IronWolf Pro HDDs come in only a 3.5 inch form factor, offering more capacity in less space and meeting the cloud-connected needs for file-sharing, remote access and backup for SMBs, enterprises and creative professionals.
