Seagate Barracuda ATA ST320430A

This drive will provide between 25 and 28 MByte/s within the first half on the medium. In the second section, the data transfer speed will be decreasing from 25 to almost 18 MByte/s.

Seagate's Barracuda ATA scores just as fast as under Windows 98. The only difference is the reduced CPU utilization in Windows 2000.
