WinBench99

Hm, if the situation in Business Disk WinMark is somewhat similar to the rating in WorkStation pattern, in High End Disk WinMark the HDD with USB 2.0 interface appeared much slower than the other two. However, as the benchmark name indicates, this test implies very high workload onto the drives, and USB 2.0 is no competitor to ATA/100 or FireWire in this case.

Here are the linear read graphs for all cases considered:

• USB 2.0 interface (Graph)
• IEEE1394 interface (Graph)
• ATA/100 interface (Graph)
• Combines graphs of all three interfaces (Graph)
