The sequential read and write rates of this HDD are just at 200 Mb/s. Seek times are also very short. The 128 Mb cache buffer only finishes this feeling of "The Bourne Supremacy". What is surprised me a little bit is that with SATA 2 controller performance of this HDD is almost the same as on SATA 3 one. In fact this is quite normal for mechanical HDD with rotary spindle... Please see the results of testing @ SATA 3 controller: IDE mode, Microsoft AHCI driver, Intel(R) Rapid Storage driver. And finally about the quietness of the drive. I'm not quite sure that "quiet" is correct word for it... When I made sequential read with MHDD the moveable magnetic head system produced quite loud pushes accompanied with drive vibration, but I think this is normal for it.

I was putting together my first NAS for the home and wanted either the WDC red or gold series. The GOLD was priced nice and had more features than the RED. It's fast, relatively quiet and should be very reliable based on passed experience (nearly 15 years) with WDC black, blue and green hard drives for use at home.
