WESTERN DIGITAL RAPTOR X 120GB
Windows XP Performance
Okay, so here is where
the rubber meets the road. Just HOW fast is
the Raptor X? Well,
here is a link to the benchmarks of the 74GB
Raptor for your reference. Now, see for
yourself how WD managed to improve an already
kick-a$$ HDD!
HD Tach 3.0.1.0,
8MB zones: 132.7 MB/s burst, 78MB/s read,
50MB/s write, 7.9ms seek
HD Tach 3.0.1.0, 32MB zones: 132.8 MB/s
burst, 78MB/s read, 68MB/s write, 7.9ms seek
HD Tach 3.0.1.0, Variable zones: 132.7
MB/s burst, 78MB/s read, 76MB/s write, 7.9ms seek
ATTO Disk Benchmark, 10 requests, 0.5k to
1kB, 32MB total length
Yeah, pretty impressive huh! Note how the
Raptor X nearly saturates its SATA-1 interface.
With reads and writes between 50MB/s and 90MB/s,
younger is definitely better. And hey, don't
forget just how COOL the CLEAR COVER IS!
That's like getting free gas for life after buying a
new AMG G55 Gelandewagen!
