Hey guys, Well I have 2 new hdd's in my RIG now. One is the Western Digital 80GB 8MB Special Edition HDD. The other is the Maxtor 80GB 8MB hdd. Here's how they are setup.
WD is the MASTER w/ NTFS and 2 Partitions.
Maxtor is SLAVE w NTFS and 1 Partition.
My scores w/ sisoft file system benchmark the
Western Digital get's 31545 kb/s
- sequential read - 46 mb/s
- sequential write - 44 mb/s
Maxtor gets 37875 kb/s
- sequential read - 57 mb/s
- sequential write - 55 mb/s
I thought the Western Digital was suppose to be better and get pretty much the same results, the only thing i've noticed different is that the Maxtor is ATA133 and not ATA100 like the WD but I still hear bout how they score in the 50's just like my MAXTOR, what are your suggestions?
