| Seagate Barracuda XT, the world’s fastest desktop hard drive featuring the blazing fast Serial ATA 6Gb/s interface. |
Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:STX) today began global shipments of the world’s fastest, largest-capacity mainstream desktop hard drive – Barracuda® XT, a 7200RPM product featuring 2TB of storage capacity and a blazing fast Serial ATA (SATA) 6Gb/second interface. The 3.5-inch desktop drive, the industry’s first to feature a SATA 6Gb/s interface, meets the capacity demands of gaming, digital video-environments and other storage-hungry desktop computing applications while delivering the highest performance in its class.

Six gigabit SATA is fast, yes, but it doesn’t make a drive faster if the interface wasn’t already a bottleneck. Six gigabit burst to the cache is nice, though.
So how fast are the drives?
John – Thanks for the comments. We expect the data rate of the hard drive to saturate the current Serial ATA 3Gb/s interface in 2011, so it’s important that the industry start rolling out SATA 6Gb/s infrastructure now to head off that likely interface bottleneck. Think of this as widening the freeway to forestall traffic jams. Environments that will see a noticeable difference in speed with SATA 6Gb/s out of the gate include cache-intensive applications such as gaming and video-editing thanks to Barracuda XT’s 64MB cache.

6 Gb HDD is now very faster then other hdd drives, i work with 3d animations and storage devices,
thanks

My motherboard is Asus P5kpl-CM, will this motherboard support this 6Gbps HDD
Looking forward to testing one of these as soon as I can secure a comparable unit from another manufacturer!
Is there a 1TB 32Mb HHD with a 6Gb/s interface in existence?
Or better/Rather a 1TB 64Mb?
Or does the 64Mb_cache & 6Gb/s interface only come into play FROM-ON a 2TB_HDD
