Conclusion

Now we’ll try to do some summarizing.

Fujitsu’s drives didn’t show anything extraordinary during our today’s tests. They are sturdy folk, but no record-breakers. The SATA electronics doesn’t endow them with any extra strength. At least today we see no difference between ATA and SATA drives for notebooks as concerns performance.

Our tests also show that there’s near parity in the market between products of the leading manufacturers. Let’s wait a little for a qualitative breakthrough or a next round of the race. :)
