Now we attach the drives to our FireWire controller and run the tests one more time:

The first diagram shows you the numbers we got in FAT32. The OneTouch II leaves its opponents behind in all the patterns.

Reading files is no big problem for the new drive from Maxtor – it is again the fastest in all the five patterns of FC-Test. Its advantage is most overwhelming when many small files are being processed.

Copying files within one partition is done faster by the OneTouch II, too, in all the patterns.

The OneTouch II has the highest speed when copying files from one partition into another. This is especially clear in the three patterns that consist of large files.
