The story changes significantly here. Samsung's drive turns in excellent IOMeter scores, second only to the IBM Deskstar 60GXP by some small margins. The unit's Workstation index (a normalized average of Light, Medium, and Heavy loads) in particular matches the score turned in by Western Digital's Caviar WD800BB and trails IBM by just 2%. Not too shabby.
