When it comes to the high level
Winmarks, Fujitsu's drive simply can't keep up with the offerings of the competition, especially that of Big Blue. In the
Business Disk Winmark the MPF-AH trails the
Deskstar 75GXP by a sizable 15%. The difference in the
High-End Winmark widens to a whopping 27%!
The Deskstar 75GXP is admittedly a huge overachiever when it comes to the increasingly dubious WinBench 99, however. Margins are much closer when Fujitsu's unit is compared to, say, Quantum's Fireball Plus LM. Here the Fujitsu lags by only 3% in the Business Disk WinMark and 13% in the High-End test. Quantum's drive, however, excels in the more important IOMeter benchmark. Does the MPF-AH follow suite? Let's examine!
