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
- -ALL my HDD`s are Seagate, 7 of them, NOT 1Days Problem thus far. Private home user & Gamer. HaPPy HaPPy HaPPy…!

Looking forward to testing one of these as soon as I can secure a comparable unit from another manufacturer!

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

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.

So how fast are the drives?
