Bjorn3D reviewed the brand new Seagate Barracuda XT drive. 2TB, 64MB cache and 6Gb/s SATA. Here’s an excerpt:
“We like the transfer speed the Barracuda XT provides, we like the huge 2TB storage it offers. We love the 64MB cache it has. For all intents and purposes the Barracuda XT is just as Seagate advertised it.”
What’s not to love?
Another thing they liked about the Barracuda XT was its first-ever 6Gb/s SATA interface – also known as SATA 3 as it is the 3rd generation of the SATA interface standard. 6Gb/s SATA is a big deal. The Barracuda XT gains some speed today because of it, but once systems are built to take full advantage of this new standard, watch out!
Seagate is proud to be a technology leader with 6Gb/s SATA. Thanks for noticing Bjorn3d!
