Western Digital VelociRaptor HDD
Performance Test 6.1:
As you can imagine by now, our benchmarks test the average read and write times. Performance Test 6.1 also performs tests to rank its Disk Mark and PassMark scores.
We can see here that the average sequential read is 99.3MB/sec, and the sequential write is 101.0MB/sec. The Disk Mark score is 754.4, and the PassMark score is 150.9.
SiSoft Sandra:
SiSoft Sandra is one of our favorite benchmarks to run. It contains tests for all types of hardware, and simulates different types of hardware so you may see how your drive compares to others. The Western Digital VelociRaptor is built in for a simulated test, so we used it as test #3. From the graph, we can see the generic path of the benchmark is recorded by SiSoft. Our particular HDD seems to spike and dip around the same line, though it still beats their score. The Velociraptor trumps the scores of the 2x Maxtor DiamondMax 80GB drives in RAID 0, as well as the 2x WD 500GB drives in RAID0. The second image shows their placing.
