Legit Reviews posted a review on the Seagate XT 2TB SATA 6GB/s Hard Drive

The Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB hard drive is the industry’s first drive to support the new SATA 3.0 specification, which supports speeds up to 6GB/s. We also have the SATA 6GB/s ready, ASUS P7P55D-E Premium motherboard for benchmarking. Read on to see LR's first look at SATA 6GB/s to see what it is all about!

We had high hopes for SATA 6GB/s before we starting benchmarking one of these new platforms, but other than having some nice burst benchmark screen shots we don't have really anything else to show you. Seagate was kind enough to send over the Seagate XT 2TB hard drive for benchmarking and while the drive is great the performance benefits of SATA 6GB/s don't seem like it will create a mad dash for new motherboards or drives anytime soon. The Seagate marketing slide that talked about SATA 6GB/s maturing over the next 2-3 years really starts to make sense now that we have seen the performance numbers.
