Just initialized and formatted my new 1TB/platter Seagate 2TB drive. 
For anyone interested, here's my HD Tune comparisons of my 3 year old WD RE3 v brand new WD Caviar Black v brand new Seagate 2TB, in that order from left to right.

The Seagate is faster in everything except burst rate. Not sure if that's good or bad? Also of note, my Seagate speeds are faster than someone with the supposedly slower 3 platter version, but not by much at all. I'm wondering if he's on sata 3 though.
Bear in mind I'm on sata 2 not sata 3, so presumably speeds would be quicker on sata 3. My seagate is connected via eSATA from my enclosure to the eSATA on top of my case, which is connected to a regular sata motherboard socket. The WD drives connected internally via regular sata.
