The Barracuda ATA III's IOMeter Workstation Index (a normalized average of light, medium, and heavy loads) of 125.97 unfortunately can't keep up with the competition. Quantum's Fireball Plus AS, for example, outscores the Seagate by 16%. An IOMeter top-dog such as the IBM Deskstar 75GXP makes it even worse, with the 'Cuda lagging by 24%.
