All the Storage Reviews done here is first thoroughly stress tested for 3 days without any interruptions using Anvil Benchmark to ensure the hard drive is in good health and its working without any defects and issues. There has been no issues faced during stress testing and usability after stress testing.
| Test Setup for: | Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB |
| Motherboard+ Processor | Gigabyte 890GPAUD3H Rev 1.0+ AMD 965BE (Cooled with Thermaltake Big Typhoon) |
| Memory | Kingston KHX1600C9D3P1K28G HyperX Genesis 8GB 1600MHz DDRIII |
| Primary drive | Western Digital 3000HLFS Drive |
| Power Supply | Corsair TX750 |
| Chassis | Coolermaster Storm Trooper |
Boot Load Test
Western Digital 750GB Black 7500BPKT, but as you can see the second gen is 6 seconds quicker on the first boot and after that the different in boot speed is negligible.
AS SSD Benchmark
CrystalDisk Benchmark
There is a very significant difference between mechanical drives, Hybrid drives and SSDs so after this point it doesn’t really make sense to make a comparison.
Anvil Benchmark
ST750LX003 Anvil 1GB
ST750LX003 Anvil 4GB
ST750LX003 Anvil 16GB
Keeping Sequential 4MB runs on Read and Write aside, there isn’t much to talk about here. The performance is something expected from a mechanical hard drive.
ATTO Benchmark
The drives picks up the pace as quick as possible on the start, but once it goes more than 64k file size on read and 256k on write, its stays on the same level as WD10JPVT. After 16k- both Read and Write- the scorpion Black flies!
