How the mighty fall! The Fireball Plus AS doesn't come close to reaching the lofty heights set by its category-leading predecessor. Its IOMeter Workstation Index (a normalized average of Light, Medium, and Heavy loads) of 146.48 lags the LM by 13%. Here again we also find the same-class Western Digital WD400BB outperforming the AS, albeit by a thin margin of just 2%.
