Default Western Digital or Seagate (SataII) performance wise? Some benchmark results...

Another fun questionare...

Just wondering what everyone has found regarding this question.

I ran some quick benches using HDTach RW (read only tests) and this is
what I have found:

WD1600YS SataII (enterprise): 157.9 MB/s burst/ 54.1 MB/s read

Seagate 160gb SATA II (I forget the model): 230 MB/s burst and 59.7
read

I believe the random access values for Seagate were around 18ms, while
WD was around 13 (12.6).


At least by read tests, it appears Seagate wins. Write tests could
change this greatly though..

I doubt that. The read-tests are very close here and WD could
be ahead in a different benchmark. 10% is not a significant
speed difference for these types of tests.

Somebody that is "trolling", i.e. posting nonsense, acting superiour,
claiming (without proof or justification) that other people are wrong
and generally wasting peoples time with worthless statement.

A perfectly good example of a troll is Folkert.

Don't try to understand Folkert. He lives in his own world where
he is king and everybody else is stupid.

This is.
This will certainly draw the babblebot out with a vengeance, without a doubt: the perfect troll.
