Hdd overview from C't
Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2002 8:17 am
Here are the complete results of the C't for interesting hdd which I originally typed for a german forum.
x/y ms = seek time without/with AAM
xy MB/s = average transfer rate, read and write (these are rounded the same)
x/y/z = niose in sone idle/seek with AAM/seek without AAM
benchmark x/y = benchmark with/without AAM
Anwendungsindex= Testing methology similar to the SR one. A playback of previously recorded patterns. Bigger disks are better because testing is done in a 40GB block.
Only different features in a family are mentioned.
