In this review PCSTATS will be testing out Seagate's 2TB, 6Gb/s SATA III Barracuda XT hard drive. This 3.5" desktop hard drive features an increased 64MB onboard cache where other 2TB drives only have 32MB and it supports Native Command Queing (NCQ).

A 2TB hard drive running at 7,200 rpm on a 6Gb/s SATA connection, the Seagate Barracuda XT ($149.99 list) sports a 64MB cache, DiscWizard software for configuration and more. Other features include desktop RAID support, RoHS compliance, thanks to being comprised of 70 percent recycled materials and...

The newest EcoGreen is a huge improvement noise-wise over the disappointing F3. Measuring only 13 dBA and 15 dBA at one meter when idle and seeking, respectively, the acoustics of the 2TB F4 at last brings EcoGreen parity with Caviar Green.

Support for 6Gbps Serial ATA may be the Barracuda XT's most intriguing attribute, but the 'cuda has little to offer the standard. By Seagate's own admission, the drive's mechanical platters aren't nearly fast enough to need even a 200MB/s link, let alone the 300MB/s one provided by the second-gen...

We check out the first hard drive to use the new SATA 6Gb/s standard and come with 64MB of cache.

After pushing the capacity boundaries of external HDDs, Seagate has brought a three-terabyte internal drive to the desktop PC with the Barracuda XT 3TB . With 3TB being the largest capacity offered by Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi, you now get 50 per cent more space than the previous giants...

Seagate's new 2TB hard disk ushers in the new SATA standard - but don't call it SATA III. Piqued by misuse of the name SATA II (in reality a committee rather than a specification), the SATA standards organisation has urged manufacturers to refer to the new interface only by its official name: SATA...

With SSDs making inroads into territory previously occupied by standard hard drives, we've seen a renaissance of sorts as some manufacturers begin pushing the limits of spindle-based storage. Western Digital showed their hand early on in the game by introducing the Caviar Green 3TB .

The Barracuda XT is a 7200rpm 3.5-inch desktop drive featuring 2TB of storage capacity and a fast Serial ATA (SATA) 6Gb/second interface.

When it comes to digital storage, you can't have enough. Whether you download a lot of music, take a lot of pictures, or are a file hoarder, you know the GB's can add up. Now-a-days, companies are offering large drives, and don't make you sacrifice speed to do so.
