None
None Really
Although I would love to see a Momentus XT 3TB 3.5 model some day
Expensive. DiscWizard software slightly clunky.
SATA 6G Didn't Help Performance
Much More Expensive than somewhat slower
Similar capacity drives
Expensive
SATA 6Gb/s interface yields negligible performance gains
Activating SATA 6Gb/s interface on current motherboards prevents dual-GPU operation
Performs better on 3Gb/s SATA
Can't match WD Caviar Black
6Gb/s SATA is unnecessary.
The Seagate Barracuda runs rather hot
Not A Major Speed Improvement
Higher Price Than Other 2TB Drives
Unimpressive bandwidth for the World's first SATA 6G product
2.1TB Barrier not removed via native hardware instruction
Sheer capacity, Performance, SATA 6Gbps, 64MB buffer
Price
The Barracuda XT is one of the fastest magnetic hard disks, bolstered by its SATA 6Gbps support and 64MB buffer. It offers the maximum capacity a single drive can offer today, and should be priced at mainstream levels quite soon....
As more 3TB hard drives make a way into the mainstream market, the Seagate Barracuda XT 3TB is among those at the forefront of fast-performing, large-capacity hard drive race. With its whopping 3TB storage capacity and speedy performance that is as good a...
Abstract: HDD capacity has been increasing over the years. From my still in use HDD of 80GB, it has grown to 160GB, 500GB, 1TB and 1.5TB. Seagate Barracuda XT up the ante with worlds first 2TB 3.5" SATA3 HDD. It supports SATA-IOs Serial ATA 6Gb/s interface. ...
Abstract: Si la capacité de 3 To impressionne, les disques durs de cette taille posent de réels problèmes de compatibilité sur une majorité de configurations, pas toutes capables de les à reconnaitre et/ou de les gérer convenablement. Il faut donc être particuli...

Malheureusement si le WD Caviar Black (WD2002FAEX) et l'Hitachi 7K3000 (HDS723020BLA642) luttent pour les premières places en termes de performances, le premier est bruyant lors d'accès alors que le second mériterait d'être plus discret en rotation. Si vo...
Performances un peu décevantes en écriture, Chauffe un peu plus que la moyenne
Un peu moins bon en écriture que le WD Caviar Black, le Barracuda XT affiche tout de même de bonnes performances. Il faudrait toutefois que son prix baisse pour qu'il constitue une réelle alternative à son concurrent direct....
Du point de vue des performances pures, un disque dur se détache du lot, il s’agit du Caviar Black de Western Digital. Jamais mis à défaut, il s’offre le luxe d’être plus rapide qu’un VelociRaptor en tant que disque système, ce qui en ferait presque le...
Abstract: Avec les petits fichiers, donc au minimum, le XT fait mieux que tout le monde avec environ 10 Mo/sec en lecture comme en écriture. Dès le 16 Ko il se montre efficace en lecture, et atteint son potentiel max dès le 32 Ko. Mais HD Tune n'est pas le seul bench, et si les résultats ne sont pas les meilleurs..
Abstract: Les progrès accomplis par les fabricants de disques durs en termes de densité de stockage ont un double intérêt : d’une part, la baisse du nombre de plateaux pour les capacités clé (500 Go et 1 To) et d’autre part, la commercialisation de modèles 2 To ...
Le Barracuda XT 2To incarne l’offre très haut de gamme de Seagate pour le marché grand public. Il dispose de la plus importante capacité de stockage disponible aujourd’hui. Avec des caractéristiques technologiques de premier ordre, une vitesse de rota...
