Another application field for a hard disk drive is a fileserver.

Maxtor and Seagate drives are both equally slow. The IBM/Hitachi solution is a confident winner, while Samsung PL40 is a little behind its predecessor.

The rating for the server use is calculated with a formula using different weight coefficients:

FileServerRating = IOps(1) + IOps(2) + IOps(4)/1.5 + IOps(8)/2 + IOps(16)/3

The IBM/Hitachi is inimitable as a server HDD – maximum performance plus minimum CPU utiliation. The results of the other drives do not show anything remarkable.
