If your hard drive is feeling a little bit cramped and you're not in the mood to carry out a data spring clean, then Seagate has the drive for you.

The drive is also energy-efficient, consuming just 6.8W during seek operations and 4.5W at idle.
The drive also comes with a five-year warranty.
The 10TB Barracuda Pro has a list price of $534.99, which means that the capacity works out at around $0.05 per GB. Not bad when you compare it against the $0.38 per GB that Samsung's 4TB 850 EVO drive will cost you.
If the price is a bit high for you, and performance is not an issue, then you might be better off with Seagate's 10TB IronWolf for NAS, which has a list price of $470, or the $460 10TB SkyHawk drive that's designed to store video surveillance footage. Both these drives feature a three-year warranty.
