HD Tune 2.55

There's always being people claiming "Oh, my drive is way faster than yours". So, now we're creating a database of the performance of HDDs.

This thread was originally made by Robilar, and people only posted their results, there was no spreadsheet. As of June 2009, this has changed. Now, i've created a Google Docs function and tied it to this thread. Here's how it works:

Please input your results into the form linked below after running the HDTune tests. It's self explanatory, but the questions have instructions by them. If you have any questions ask. When done, hit "Submit" and your results will automatically be entered into the spreadsheet. Please allow up to five minutes for your results to appear, as it refreshes every five minutes.
CLICK HERE TO INPUT RESULTS

If you swore you added your data into the form again, i deleted it because i'm tired of spending time fixing mistakes that i clearly told you not to make...feel free to add yourself again; follow the rules this time.

I thought about that but its just easier to add a list as members post. Too many drives out there.

I'll create a chart as we get more data in.

Here is another one:

WD 250 GB (WDC WD2500AAKS-00VSA)

Transfer Rate:

Min/Max/Avg: 15.6/103.7/83.9 MB/Second

Access Time: 16.4 ms

Burst Rate: 145.1 MB/sec

CPU usage: 1.6%

Note the difference between a 16MB cache AAKS and a 16MB cache Velociraptor....

cpu usage is a good idea, I'll add that too

Seagate 7200.3 2.5" Mobile HDD 320GB 16MB (ST9320421AS)

Transfer Rate:

Min/Max/Avg: 41.1/85.0/65.3 (MB/Second)

Access Time: 16.4 ms

Burst Rate: 62.4 MB/second

Not bad for a mobile HDD. Lots of turbulence though. Its almost as loud as my gpu fan.

Alright nice to see some results.

Both raid and non raid would be great.

I'll do separate charts for both.

Perhaps it will put to rest the debate on whether single raptors are faster than raided non raptors.

OS DRIVES

RAIDO 2x Samsung SP2504C 250GB 8MB Cache



STORAGE DRIVE

WD6401AALS (640GB Black Edition) 32MB Cache



Looks like my 2 Samsungs are a bit better that the 150GB Velociraptor except in Access Time. Not bad!

Also, the 640GB Black is a hell of a drive. Two in RAID0 would eat Velociraptors for breakfast.

Something I'm confused with, my read rate is fine but the burst tends to be low I see on some drives and extremely high on others, why exactly is this so ? I'm trying to look for a pattern but I don't see one. Can someone give me this clarification of why ?
