Hard Drive Benchmarks

I benchmarked a few hard drives using the Coretest versiom 3.03 benchmark.
Here are the results:

Drive Man. WestDig Maxtor Quantum JTS
Drive type Caviar 83500a TM3840 Champion
Drive Size 540 Mb 3.5 Gig 3.8 Gig 3.2 Gig

Buffered Read (kb/sec) 4224 14149 13472 12464
Sequential Read (kb/s) 3168 5328 6869 7648
Random Read (kb/sec) 1472 1786 2213 2192
Avg. Seek Time (ms) 11.1 12.8 9.0 10.8
Track/Track Seek (ms) 2.0 5.5 3.5 0.9


The JTS and Western Digital drives are ones I ran on my own system. The western
digital drive is 3 or 4 years old, I'm sure their newer drives are faster. Just threw in
the numbers for the heck of it. The other two drives I got off a web site somewhere. Don't
know what kind of system they were run on. Mine was a 133 Pentium w/ 256k cache. The
buffered reads may be a little system dependant perhaps. If anyone would like to try
running this benchmark on their machines, I found a copy of it (Coretest 3.03) at:

huizen.dds.nl

From this data I would say the JTS Champion drives are in the ballpark of other
drive manufacturers in terms of speed. They are definitely not slow.
