CrystalDiskMark 2.1:

CrystalDiskMark was used to test the average read and write times of different sized files on the VelociRaptor.

As you can see, the read times only fluctuated by a max of 4.19MB/sec. The write times are a bit more drastic, with a change of 7.00MB/sec. These values don't necessarily compare to the results seen by the HD Tune test on the last page, but they are a good representation of the speed depending on file size.

 

Datamarck:

Datamarck tests the same as the benchmarks before hand, primarily the read and write speeds. Our settings are shown in the first picture, and the result graph is shown on the right. As you can see, the blue line shows the average read rate being 98.8B/sec, with the minimum being 75.0MB/sec and the maximum being 120.8MB/sec. The yellow line displays seek time. The average is 7.6ms, with the minimum being 2.6ms and the maximum being 14.8ms.
