HD-TechDat
Performance Data
Compiled by Hans-Jürgen Reggel
What's this all about? There are probably hundreds of
harddisk benchmark programs available, but nobody really
knows what these programs are doing, how the results are
calculated, and how to interpret these results.
The following pages show detailed information about
the sustained read rates of harddisks. While some people
might think that such data is completely useless, there's
one important point: Unless there are timing problems
(as for example with the ST3400832AS), you won't get
data off the disk faster than the shown rates.
Of course, the actual data rate can be less, but
this can go down next to zero if you read single blocks
from random locations spread across the whole data area.
It all depends on so many components and details, that you
can't tell exactly how a harddisk will perform in a certain
environment.
