May 14, 201511 yr So I got my new 8tb hdd in today and started to preclear it and the write speed seems quite fast to me and i was wondering if something could be wrong?? Or am i just being stupid?
May 14, 201511 yr Seems reasonable for the outer cylinders => remember this disk has an areal density of 1.33TB/platter
May 14, 201511 yr Author true, I guess I'm just used to my WD green drives which now that I think about it spin a bit slower than the seagate. Does the drive fill up the outer part of all the platters before moving onto the inner parts? If so I assume that towards the end of the writing I will see something closer or below 100?

ALL hard drives start writing at the outermost cylinders and move towards the inner ones ... where the speeds are notably slower.
May 14, 201511 yr ... If so I assume that towards the end of the writing I will see something closer or below 100? Yep. This drive shows ~190 MB/s at the beginning, ~90 MB/s at the end, ~140MB/s average.
May 14, 201511 yr Author Well I am pleasantly surprised at the speed these drives write at. I just hope they last as long as my WD green drives have.
May 14, 201511 yr Well I am pleasantly surprised at the speed these drives write at. The speed will be nowhere near that good once the array becomes bigger. The slowest ship dictates the convoy speed.... I just hope they last as long as my WD green drives have. We all do
