Seagate New Barracuda XT 3TB Review

Testing:

PCMark Vantage: With this benchmark, I will be running the hard drive test suite. The measurement for the hard drive suite will be the total score, then the scoring for each test will be broken down. There are a total of eight hard drive tests within PCMark Vantage and all eight will be run to gauge the performance of each drive tested.

In this test the new and old 3TB drives offer similar performance across the the entire test suite.
