SEAGATE BARRACUDA ES 750GB
Windows XP Performance
The Barracuda ES was
tested using the following platform, and the OS was
Windows XP Pro 64-bit:
The latest drivers from each manufacturer was used.
First, we ran HD Tach 3.0. Here is the
screenshot of the 8MB Zone test:
Burst Speed:
132MB/s, Ave. Read: 66.2 MB/s, Ave. Write:
58.3 MB/s, CPU: 1%, Random Access:
13.4ms
Two similar tests using 32MB zones, and variable
zones were also performed, and the results are
exactly the same:
Burst Speed:
132MB/s, Ave. Read: 66.0 MB/s, Ave. Write:
65.9 MB/s, CPU: 1%, Random Access:
13.4ms
The final test is
performed using the ATTO Disk Benchmark. Ten
requests are sent simultaneously of varying sizes
from 0.5k up to 1024k.
As you can see, the
drive tops out at about 78MB/s with the larger data
sizes. Not bad at all!
