I am preparing and benchmarking in USB2, eSATA and internal SATA a new hard-drive, the Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB @ 7200rpm.
It’s probably not the best performer on all bench, and probably the more expensive 2.5″ hard drive, but it’s the fastest where it counts: on multitasking situation or when launching multiple software at once, or performing multiple task such importing in LightRoom 2 while surfing the web, …
Anyway, as the internal 2.5″ Hitachi 500GB 5400rpm is probably the worst 500GB 2.5″ drive ever (usual on Apple computers despite the high tag price), it’s performance-level will be probably better in any circumstance, and in XBench itshow, even if this does not test multitaking abilities.
More later this week-end
