On the next diagram we provided the results for NTFS file system. Again Western Digital WD800VE is in the second position after Seagate ST9100823A, as we have expected. This time, however, it managed to get farther ahead of the other opponents from Samsung and Hitachi. This is a perfect illustration of the fact that the performance of WD Scorpio drive is less dependent on the type of the file system, than by the competitors.

The data transfer rate of WD800VE during reading is much lower than that of the Seagate drive, which belongs to a different HDD class, and is just a little lower than that of a Hitachi HDD.

The last diagram shows average access time for FAT32 file system. The highest value here belongs to WD Scorpio drive. This is one of its major failures.
