You have a very valid point with the exception that we compared it against a 5400rpm drive on purpose. Traditional SATA drives included with most notebooks today are 5400rpm. This drive is intended as an economical upgrade that is no where near as expensive as an SSD and yet offers similar performance. Most users will be more interested in the performance they will gain over their existing drive than to compare this to a standard SSD. In such cases our comparison is both relevant and conveys value to our readers.
What is the point of comparing 5400rpm drive with 7200rpm drive and tell that the 7200rpm puts out positive scores?
Besides, did you even check the AAM/APM settings of the drives and match them before the test?
It appears that these benchmark results are rather useless since it is comparing apples and oranges…
