How does a drive’s capacity affect performance? After all, given the same constant-size data set, a larger drive has to seek across less of its breadth. Can the capacity advantages of larger, slower rotating drives overcome their inherent latency disadvantages? Join us as we put today’s 10k and 15k RPM drives to the test!

With Testbed3, StorageReview.com places huge emphasis on performance measurements derived through Intel’s IPEAK SPT benchmarks. The results, however, challenge the conventional wisdom that many folks hold to the core. Is such a challenge warranted? Is IPEAK as accurate, precise, and relevant as we claim? Yes it is! It’s time to embrace the truth over clinging

Western Digital’s WD1200BB delivers the largest capacities yet seen in a 7200 RPM low-profile drive. Does the 1200BB live up to its heritage? Join SR as we subject WD’s latest to our brand-new Testbed3 methodology!

At long last, StorageReview.com finally debuts its third-generation testbed! This comprehensive overhaul brings changes to the hardware, operating systems, benchmarks, and methodology behind SR. Consistent test platforms featuring a minimum of change have been the hallmark of SR over the last three years. This is as close as it gets to required reading for both
