Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB Hard Drive Review
CrystalDiskMark Testing
CrystalDiskMark is a synthetic test that evaluates both sequential as well as random small and large file transfers. It does a nice job of providing a quick look at best and worst case scenarios with regard to hard drive performance, best case being large sequential transfers and worse case being small, random 4K transfers.

With a sequential read speed of 140 MB/s and write speed at 135 MB/s, the Barracuda Green kept pace with every other hard drive we tested. It was a bit slower than the Caviar Green in read performance, but once again delivered a considerably faster write score.
