WD Black Caviar Performance Results?

I have RAID0 with 2xSeagate drivers and I still get a score off 5.9 as well, it is normal if you want to get higher score you prob need 10,000rpm drives, as for transfer rate it will vary due to the I/O devices.

If you search this thread, you could probably find one. I have 2 at home. I could look at my results in a few hours. I have them saved. They may even be in that thread.

Here is my WD 500GB Black HD Tune test. You are seeing just slightly lower than mine. I'd say it about right. It may be the dufference between AHCI and IDE mode.

FYI

Here is what you need to get the WEI up my friend. It's a Patriot Torqx 128GB (v1819) It's an Indilinx controlled drive. You'll be had pressed to find an Intel or any other drive as fast as this one. There are better ones coming out soon, but I don't know if they will be faster.

Here are my 2 500GB WD caviar blacks in RAID0. Still 5.9



Like some have mentioned, to get higher than 5.9, you'll most likely need a HDD with higher rpms and in RAID, probably depends on what raid setup, how many HDDS you have setup in it, or a SSD. Definatley get it higher with a SSD.

Here are the results from my 1TB Caviar Black


For reference, here is a Seagate 1TB 7200.12 that I have in my Linux box;


Don't be concerned with the 5.9 WEI score. That is what a mechanical drive gets.
