Last November, HGST impressed the world with the release of its biggest hard drive to date, the 6TB Ultrastar. The upside of such a drive is obvious: It’s 6,000 gigabytes.

When we took a look at EVGA’s GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked a couple of weeks ago, we lacked the ideal card to compare it to. With Sapphire’s Radeon R9 280 Dual-X in the house, retailing for just $10 shy of EVGA’s, we’ve managed to remedy that problem. So, let’s dive in, and…..
