Performance numbers for Hitachi’s revised terabyte drive (featuring three platters versus the older 7K1000’s five) have been entered into the Performance Database.

While it doesn’t hit the 1100+ IOps/sec delivered by WD’s Caviar Black in the Office DriveMark, Hitachi’s latest nonetheless turns in impressive figures across the board when it comes to single-user applications. WD’s drive emerges as as a clear victor when it comes to server-oriented use, however.

Watch for a full review of these three units coming soon!
