Samsung's drive turns in a Business Disk WinMark 99 score of 5.6 MB/sec, significantly trailing the competition. Western Digital's Caviar WD800BB, for example, outraces the P20 by a staggering 52%. The P20's High-End Disk Winmark is similarly disappointing... at 12.7 MB/sec It trails the competition by similar margins.
