Next we will measure the speed of copying files within the same partition.

The Hitachi HTS548040M9T00 does such copying best of all, with the Install files.

The Samsung MP0402H pushed the Hitachi HTS548040M9T00 one step lower in the ISO pattern, which consists of three large files. The Seagate ST94811A occupies the third step of the podium.

Copying files of a smaller size the Samsung MP0402H couldn’t keep its leading position, giving it back to the indefatigable HTS548040M9T00 from Hitachi.

The Seagate ST94811A had the upper hand on even smaller files, while the Hitachi HTS548040M9T00, the fastest drive in linear read speed, fell behind, allowing the two Fujitsu devices to come ahead.
