Performance in WinBench 99

Here are the data-transfer graphs produced by WinBench 99:

ST Lab S-101

ViPowER VP-9258V

Comparing these two diagrams you can see that the efficiency of the interface implemented in the ViPowER is better: its data-transfer graph goes higher than the competitor’s graph. There’s also another sign: the steps at the end of the straight line begin earlier with the ST Lab container.

Now let us compare the performance of the hard disk drive in these two enclosures as expressed in WinMarks. When the entire capacity of the drive was formatted in FAT32, the drive performed almost identically in both enclosures. The small difference in the two Business WinMark scores lies in the measurement error range.
