Seagate with no memory buffer!
03/31/2009
This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent XTreme 1TB USB 2.0 / Firewire400 / eSATA 3.5" External Hard Drive ST310005FPA2E3-RK Black
Pros:
Can store data.
Cons:
Slooooow, probably due to small buffer (but read below).
Overall Review:
Careful with this Seagate product!!! While most other legitimate hard drive makers tell you that buffer size of their drives, Seagate is mum on the subject. Their product web site simply states it is a 7200RPM drive, but you have no clue wheter it comes with 2MB of buffer, 32MB, or something in-between.
Too bad you cannot trust Seagate any more.... Better stick with a brand that is not afraid to reveal the size of the drive's buffer, like apaprently Seagate is. These days, stick with 16MB or 32MB, anyhow. Ther way I figure from its write speed, this Seagate probably has only 2 megs, nearly not enough for modern-era data writes and reads.
