Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB SATA 6 Gb/s HDD Review
Hardware Secrets have posted a review of the Seagate Barracuda XT, a 2TB SATA 6 Gb/s hard drive.
Here's what they had to say:
"We were expecting Seagate Barracuda XT 2 TB to smash its main competitor, Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB, because of the use of the new SATA-600 interface, but this didn’t happen: both achieved the same performance level. In fact, Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB achieved a somewhat lower access time; so if you are looking for a fast 2 TB hard drive, Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB has a little bit of an advantage."
The benefits of SATA 6 Gb/s can't really be appreciated with conventional hard drives, especially with those which aren't particularly faster than what's already on the market.
