Seagate Momentus XT 500GB ST95005620AS Review

Testing:

AS SSD v1.1.3466.29641: AS SSD is a benchmark designed for the speeds of solid state drives, however it will also work for traditional hard drives as well. It is designed to measure the read and write speeds and access time for set block sizes. It also assigns a score to the read, write and overall performance of the drive.

For the AS SSD tests, while not as fast as SSD's, the Momentus XT still was faster than a traditional hard drive.
