Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750 GB SATA Hard Drive
BenchMark - HD Tach
Published: 7th August 2006 | Source: Seagate | Price: |
HD Tach is a benchmark that is designed to test hard drive speed. As noted before I tested each drive three times to check for consistency, and averaged results. I am posting the graphs for you to see for yourselves as the HD Tach graphs are pretty relevant.
Here are the scores for the Hitachi Deskstar 7K160:
HD Tach for the RAID 0 array using 2 x Hitachi Deskstar 7K250:
And the results of the Seagate 7200.10 750 GB:
As you can see, the Seagate drive had a higher average read and burst speed than the Deskstar drive. The Hitachi drive did have a slightly lower access time, but this was not significant at all. For such a huge drive the Seagate performed admirably against what is considered one of the fastest 7200 RPM drives on the market.
* Please note that the HD Tach results seem somewhat low for all drives. I am currently investigating this.
Revised Results:

Revised Results:
The results look a lot closer to what they should be. All of the other results were accurate.

your right the one in the pic is the IDE Version but there is also the SATA II Version.
All mobos support it even if it is sata 2 and the mobo is only sata 1 but int that case it lacks the features of sata 2
