The SpinPoint's
IOMeter workstation index (a normalized average of
Light, Moderate, and Heavy loads) of 139.21 is one of the highest scores we've recorded for a 5400 RPM drive. Only Samsung's own
V10200, the predecessor to the V20400, scores higher. 139.21 is enough to edge by the
IBM Deskstar 40GV's index as well as that of Western Digital's
Caviar WD600AB.
