Performance in Intel IOMeter WorkStation Pattern

In the table below we have the results for both storage devices tested in WorkStation pattern. In this test the drives work under typical workstation load:

You can see on the graph how the two solutions behave with the entire disk space involved into testing. Transcend Portable Hard Disk is evidently slower than Easyharddisk.

The graph for the overall performance indexes shows that Transcend’s solution is about 10% slower than its rival in this pattern.

When we involved only 32GB of the storage capacity of the tested drives, the situation didn’t change even a slightest bit. The performance grew a little bit higher, but the overall picture remained the same. Easyharddisk is still an indisputable leader.

On the overall performance diagram you can see that Transcend’s product is more than 10% slower again.
