Average hdd speed ?

[BobRoberts123]

Hello,
So i have a 3tb seagate barrcuda , and i was wondering what are considered average speeds for this drive. , i got 212 MBs/213MBs in q32t1 in crystal disk mark (read /write), i got 0.264/1.265 in 4k q32t1, 213/208 in sequential speeds , and 0.538/1.278 in 4k.

This was using the 1gb setting on my drive after cleaning it with the built in windows utilities.
Are these speeds considered good , just average for the barracuda , or below average , and how does it compare with other hard drives ?

Hey there, Bob.

Actually this sounds quite high for a standard 7200RPM drive. I'd recommend that you check your HDD model's specs sheet on the manufacturer's website, to see how your drive compares to the speed that's been stated there.

Hope that helps.

It does sound like a high reading but this is what i get for a 1 TB Seagate HDD.
