Seagate New Barracuda XT 3TB Review

Testing:

Atto Disk Benchmark v2.34: Atto Disk Benchmark is another aged, but good hard drive benchmark utility designed to test read and write speeds for different file sizes.

In the ATTO testing, the new drive easily bested the sustained transfer read/write rates of 156 MB/s. Again the increased platter size, Acutrac technology, and new caching algorithms pay dividends.
