Now let’s check the situation with NTFS file system.

WD2500SD again manages to create files faster than WD2500PD. Although here the performance advantage of our leader is no longer as great as in case of FAT32 file system. But again the maximum performance advantage can be achieved when we have an array of HDDs.

The next diagram shows the read speed of the testing participants. WD2500SD is an indisputable leader here in all patterns. It appears the most efficient when working in an array again.

File copying within the same section shows that WD2500SD is considerably faster than WD2500PD, especially in patterns with larger files.

The last diagram confirms once again how fast the new WD2500SD actually is. When we copy files from one section to another, our hero again wins the laurels being far ahead the WD2500PD. As usual, it advantage is most evident in patterns with larger files.
