Hello, I bought a 1tb seagate barracuda wth 64mb of cache.
Model number is ST1000DM010-2EP102
Serial number: Z9ADGQK8
Firmware: CC43
I got Buffer: n/a using HD Tune
I have a really old samsung hdd as well and it shows 16mb at the buffer section.
Games are kinda running bad, because of hdd issuses, I believe.
It runs at 100% sometimes, when opening programs, when gaming, etc...
I've seen the cache information somewhere else as well, dont record where. But there it showed 0k cache for my seagate hdd.
Why it is showing that information?
One more thing, in the field Standard, Supported, Active, my seagate shows, respectively: ATA/ATAPI0- SATA II, UDMA MODE 6 (Ultra ATA/133), UDMA MODE 6 (Ultra ATA/133).
but my old hdd shows: ATA/ATAPI- SATA II, UDMA MODE 7(Ultra ATA/512), UDMA MODE 6 (Ultra ATA/133).
That means my old hdd has a higher udma mode? what it does even mean?
:::: just found out that my barracuda is SATA III, not SATA II as it shows.
my motherboard(h110m c/br) supports SATA 6GB/S (SATA III), and my processor is a i5-7400.
what is happening?
here's a HD TUNE picture.
