When the storage space is limited to 32 gigabytes, the superiority of the OneTouch II is unquestionable, too.

The drives are formatted in NTFS for their full capacity, and once again we see the OneTouch II taking the first place. It delivers much more performance than its competitors.

The special case with 32 gigabytes of storage space in use brings no corrections into the rankings: the OneTouch II doesn’t lose in any of the subtests.

The last diagram in this section shows the access time parameters of the drives in the FAT32 file system and with the USB 2.0 interface. As we see, the OneTouch II has a better access time than its predecessor, but a worse one compared to the Western Digital. Maxtor must have refused to slow down the movements of the heads through the Advanced Acoustic Management in OneTouch II series drives.
