Review on Seagate Barracuda hard drive 1 TB ST31000528AS by Ognian Karagaev ᠌

Real test results (using the native IDE mode, not the SATA2 mode; I wasn't aware that I also needed to install a driver in order to use SATA2 with Windows XP Service Pack 2): 1) Reading files at 50 megabytes per second equals 110 megabytes per second, and recording at 12 megabits per second 2) files with sizes of 512 and 4 kilobytes each; these are laughable values that are less than 10 megabits per second; I was appalled by them and cannot recall them. After performing a clean installation of the operating system (Windows 7; I didn't even need to install any additional drivers), I noticed a substantial increase in performance when reading and writing files of various sizes (50 MB, 512 KB, and 4 kB): 1) 124/100; 2)60/93; 3)0.9/1.2. It has been brought to my attention that the AHCI mode of operation of the SATA controller must be configured in the BIOS. Then you will experience joy.
