Performance in AIDA32

Using AIDA32, I took the graphs of linear reading and writing and measured the average access time. The results are presented in the following diagrams:

Linear read speed

Linear write speed

Average access time

The synthetic AIDA32 tests produce results which are generally similar to what we have seen in FC-Test. The average linear read speed of the Seagate ST650211USB is noticeably higher than that of the Sony drive.

This diagram suggests that the Sony USD5G has no chances to beat its opponent in our tests: its average linear write speed is much lower.

The last diagram shows the average access times. Quite expectedly, these are almost the same, the difference lying in the measurement error range.
