According to Maximum PC: “Barracudas eat Caviar for breakfast”
From the test results of Maximum PC, the Seagate Barracuda Low Powered 2TB drives performed better overall against Western Digital's Caviar Green.
The Barracuda has 20% faster sustained transfer speed, the speed for transferring large files. It also consume less power without sacrificing speed, which means you save electricity and your drive is cooler. Random access read times are faster, but write times are slower. Also, the burst read speed, as its name suggests, the sudden reading of a file, is slower. Despite that, the PCMark Vantage score, a test for measuring common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, videos, music and other media and gaming ranked higher. This means the drive performs faster overall.
