Seagate Desktop 3.5″ 4TB Solid State Hybrid Drive Review

Test Procedure


Whilst this is an external hard drive, its primary focus is on its wireless connectivity on mobile devices. Due to this we will still have a look at the drive’s performance when connected via USB, albeit in a lighter fashion, but we will also look at the software and the drives settings pages to get connected.

Test system:

  • Supermicro C7Z87-OCE motherboard
  • Intel Xeon E3-1230Lv3
  • Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz 16GB (2GB for NASPT Testing)
  • Corsair H100i
  • BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 10 850W
  • Kingston HyperX 240GB SSD

We would like to thank BeQuiet, Corsair, Kingston and Lian Li for supplying us with our test system components.

Many different software applications are also used to gain the broadest spectrum of results, which allows for the fairest testing possible.

Software used:

  • AIDA64 Engineer
  • Anvil’s Storage Utilities Release 1
  • ATTO Disk Benchmark
  • BootRacer v4.7
  • CrystalDiskMark
  • Iometer
