Performance in Intel IOMeter Fileserver & Webserver Patterns

We will compare the drives by calculating their performance ratings – the average of the drive speeds under four workloads. We decided to exclude the results under the 256 requests workload.

WD740GB goes unrivalled, but Maxtor 6L080L4 surprised us by taking the second place. The two 5400rpm drives from Samsung are closing the table, but Seagate ST380011A is not much faster than them…

Raptor HDD remains the leader in the Webserver pattern, followed by three IBM-Hitachi drives. Two relatively fresh products from Maxtor have got a surprisingly poor performance rating, while their older mate is still in the “top five” (due to its good access time, of course).
