    What's your hard drive assessment speed?


    I'm curious to see what other people are getting for their WEI disk scores. I would like to see all types and combinations of drives to see how they differ in performance. If possible try to keep HDTach/HDTune/etc. scores to a minimum as there is another thread for that.

    Some general questions for this thread (answered through benchmarks):
    • How does RAID affect random reads/writes and latency?
    • How much does NV Cache help?
    • What subtest shows the biggest difference between and SSD and HDD?
    • Can defragmenting a used HDD actually improve benchmark scores?
    • What's the difference between a used SSD with TRIM vs. non-TRIM?
    Here's mine (Seagate Crockett 5400RPM):

    Code:

    Simple directions to run test:
    1. Press Windows key.
    2. Type "cmd" without quotes.
    3. Right click on the program that pops up and select "Run as administrator".
    4. Type "winsat disk" without quotes in the command prompt.
    5. After the test is done right click in the black area of the command prompt and choose "Select All"
    6. Press Enter to Copy.
    7. Ctrl+V to Paste here.

    If I am reading this correctly, the price I paid for this drive was wasted as far as performance is concerned.

    Single Raptor?

    101MB/s is very good for a spinning drive, not to mention seek times and Avg I/O

    Wont get much better unless you go Raid 0 or SSD

    Brand new 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint. Very Happy with it so far.
    Don't think these results are bad:
