Performance in AIDA32

With the help of special AIDA32 software we will build linear read and write graphs, as well as obtain results for average access time. We used the average values of the above listed parameters to build the diagrams you see below:

Linear Write Speed

Linear Read Speed

Average Access Time

The first diagram shows the average linear write speed. Unfortunately, Imation Micro Hard Drive appeared almost one third as fast as its opponent.

The average linear read speed diagram doesn’t give Imation Micro Hard Drive any causes for joy. It yielded to the rival from Seagate once again, although this time the gap is not as big as in the previous case.

Average access time results are again far from being in favor of Imation Micro Hard Drive. It takes a little bit more time to complete the test than its opponent, although this time the difference is really small.
