What bugs me about this bencharmk, is that the guy handicaped his 7200.11 because he copied the file from one partition (probably non empty) to his main system partition (C) that has the OS and probably a load of stuff, thus giving the 7200.11 a disadvantage because the file will NOT be copied to head of partition, which is faster.
On the 7200.12, he copied one file from one virgin partition to another, thus having a great read/write performance.
So this benchmark is in no way indicative of real world results unless all variables are known. I think there should be now way the 7200.12 is x2 faster than the 7200.11 under similar real world test conditions.
On another note,
I was wondering....Should I wait for the 1TB 7200.12 or go with a Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B 1TB (available right now)?
