Now it is high time we checked out the performance of WD’s new solution in FAT32 file system. The first diagram shows how fast the files can actually be created. The external Passport drive is faster than the solution from Lacie in two patterns out of five: it copes much better with large files.

The read speeds again push Lacie drive to the winner’s pedestal It defeats the opponent in all five patterns.

When the drives copy files within the same logical partition, WD Passport is undoubtedly the fastest. It got far ahead of the rival in all five patterns.

The last diagram again indicates the indisputable triumph of the Western Digital solution. It wins a convincing victory in all five patterns.
