Despite its record-breaking transfer rates, the Barracuda ATA III is no match for the category-leading Western Digital Caviar WD400BB. Seagate's offering trails WD's by a margin of 11% in the Business Disk WinMark 99. The gap in the High-End Disk WinMark is even greater- here the 'Cuda lags by 15%.
