The 60GXP again turns in scores quite similar to its predecessor in the SR IOMeter Indices (a normalized average of results obtained under light, medium, and heavy loads). In the File Server and Database Indices, the 60GXP edges out the 75GXP by 1%-2%. In the closely-watched Workstation Index, however, the two drives turn in identical scores... differences are well under 0.5%.
It should be noted that the 60GXP's Workstation Index score of 166.59 soundly defeats second-place Western Digital's Caviar WD400BB by a margin of 11%. For an ugly picture, contrast the 60GXP with the Seagate Barracuda ATA III... the former bests the latter by a staggering 32%.
Conclusion...
