Now, let’s see how the drives perform in the NTFS file system.


The OneTouch II turns to be slower than its opponents at creating files. In two patterns (with small-size files) it takes the second place, though, outperforming the HDD from Western Digital.

The new product from Maxtor is the slowest at reading files in this test.

The OneTouch II wins three patterns out of five in the copy-near test (files are being copied within the same partition). On the other hand, its results in the MP3 pattern are quite bad.

The results of the copy-far test resemble those of the previous test. Once again, the OneTouch II is the fastest in three patterns and equals its predecessor in one more pattern. The MP3 pattern seems indigestible for it, though.
