Once again, we see the Barracuda 3TB hit read/write scores with a wide discrepancy, this time on the HDTune Average Transfer Rate test and Access Time test. Note that in the Access Time test, lower scores are better, so our HDD smoked the competition in that one in the write test but came in second in the read test.
In the Burst Rate test, the scores were fairly closely clustered, but even so, the Barracuda 3TB didn’t fare especially well, and its CPU usage was ugly (2.9% read, 2.6% write) compared to the other drives (1.4/1/4% and 1/1.3%).
