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 4.19sec. The write times are a bit more drastic, with a change of 7.00sec. 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. CrystalDiskMark can be downloaded from our downloads page.
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.
lol, be my guest.
…You have the only new model…
🙂
Yes Dan(s). You’ll even notice this uses the old IcePak. They are great drives though!
I wonder if the new ice pack, firmware, etc provide any substantial improvements in performance. Any chance we could compare this one to the new model?
I am suprised about the timing of this review. These drives have been out for quite some time. I have been running a pair of them in RAID 0 for about 6 months with the Win 7 Beta and now the Win 7 RC. The performance and stability is amazing!
This was more of a transfer of the review from our old site. It was actually the old model. We wanted to move it over so that we could reference it in an upcoming review.
