Hello

I have a western digital 74 gig that spins at 10,000 rpm, and also have a samsung 160 gig that spins at 7200 rpm, my question is why is my samsung hard disk 4 times faster than the western digital, i ran a bench mark on both drives, here are the results.

Western digital

Drive Index = 46

Buff Read = 29 meg/sec
Seq Read = 45 meg/sec
Ran Read = 33 meg/sec
Buff Write = 41 meg/sec
Seq Write = 25 meg/sec
Ran Write = 22 meg/sec

Average Access Time = 13 ms

Samsung 160 gig

Drive Index = 62

Buff Read = 133 meg/sec
Seq Read = 72 meg/sec
Ran Read = 47 meg/sec
Buff Write = 129 meg/sec
Seq Write = 69 meg/sec
Ran Write = 45 meg/sec

Average Access Time = 10 ms

Ok, now on the western digital hard disk it should have an access time of 4ms or round that figure, that value is way out, i paid a lot of money for that hard disk and it does not work as they claim it should, i have been cheated again. Also this is some other information you will need to know.

MainBoard = ASUS P4P 800 VM
Windows XP is installed on the western digital, and there is 44 gig free at the moment
I store my music and games on the samsung, i am using about 52 gig at moment, i have over 100 games installed as well.
Processer = Intel Pentium, 2.4 Ghz, FSB 800 Mhz, memory is 2016 meg, runing at 400 Mhz.
CDROM = ASUS, DRW-1608P2

Regards

Andrew
