Seagate knows what they are doing, because they continue to impress. It's too bad I did not have another S-ATA drive on hand, because it would have been a more accurate comparison, but the Barracuda definitely held it's own. Despite coming short in most of the synthetic benchmarks, it rocked our real world tests. Chances are that going from ATA to S-ATA will vary in performance depending on your system. It's odd that the 500GB took longer to perform some mundane tasks, such as the Windows installation, because it obviously kept right up to the 160GB in terms of speed...
