WD Caviar WD3200aaks 16 Mb buffer and avg transfer rate is 92.7 Mb/s
WD Caviar WD5000aaks 16 Mb buffer and avg transfer rate is 64.2 Mb/s
Seagate ST3250310AS 7200.10 8 Mb buffer and avg transfer rate is 89.9 Mb/s

SidhuPunjab said:^ Its very old review
New WD 320GBAAKS is Single Platter, very fast. Seagate 7200.11 is also fast.
Above review is for old generation drives, both scoring near 65mbps.
I hope U got Single Platter 320GB, not the older revision.
