That's the weight of a small cell phone or a Palm Pilot with a case. This is a great test since the drive has to read and write to itself simultaneously. So I used Intech's QuickBench Utility which is part of HD Speed Tools 3.1.1. My graph displays the 1024K file size results. I used Express-Pro Tools 2.3.2 benchmark test with 8MB maximum file size and system disk cache disabled.
Sustained Rate is displayed in the charts.
Peak rates can be impressive but often have more to do with hardware cache and do not reflect typical drive performance.
