Crazy write speeds for a HDD

I was expecting decent speeds with this drive over USB 3.0, but not as high as I am seeing.
Writing from my SSD in my Lenovo Thinkpad Helix to this drive I am seeing 195 MB/s. I moved 100GB of data in less than 9 minutes.
For a hard drive, that is fantastic. I am seeing comparable speeds on Samsung 840 SSDs(connected via USB 3.0). I'm so happy with the speed of this 3TB drive, I may buy a second one.
On a side note... Don't format the drive yourself! Use the LaCie included software and don't delete it off the drive once formatted. I deleted the software and my write speeds dropped to 110 MB/s. Once I added it back, they returned to 195 MB/s.
I would recommend this to a friend

Pretty, but pretty noisy

This drive is super-looking and a pretty good deal. That's why I got it. Fortunately you can set drives to sleep, otherwise the fan noise would really get to me. The Lacie engineers could have done a better job with making this thing quiet.
