    Ok maybe we could use both. It's just that by using crystalmark we avoid add another installed program (as it's only a *.exe)

    HDtune does not require installation, its a standalone .exe

    thats strange... I have a previous version of HDtune that I use for testing... which is a standalone .exe

    maybe they changed it.

    Interesting, how the Hitachi 5K500.B have on par speed with the 7K320.
    Well, not on par per se, but only little less.

    its weird we dont see more of these benches, especially considering that HDDs have historically been bottlenecks.

    i'm betting on SSD technology to change that. i wonder what the next bottleneck will be

    I have an Intel X25m 80G ssd- the crystalmark scores are :
    242.5 / 41.05
    165.4 / 37.90
    19.73 / 28.67

    If I knew how to post a screenshot, I would do that...

    Interesting that the sequential write speeds are less than a a conv hd, but the random score is way higher... I am told that this score represents more "real-world" performance for a machine being used normally. This is borne out in my experience, as I use this computer for CAD/CAM stuff that is very page-file intensive, and compared to a desktop with 10k WD Raid1 drives, its very fast...

    Test scores are on a D901c Xeon3370 4G ram, Quadro FX3700m using the X25 as a primary, and 500Gtravelstar as secondary.

    Here is my before and after a firmware update for my SSD
    [​IMG]

    I just wish I waited for the 160GB X25-M since I usually only have between 10 and 25 GB free at any given time. Vista is a hog......hmmmm when should I switch to 7?

    Yeah, I heard W7 is much better than Vista. And it's stil in beta version.
    I want to try it, but i figure the release date for final version is near anyway, so I'll just wait :)

    the stage of the Win7 beta is pretty much final beta.

    I have been testing it.... extremely stable and good performing.

    What Vista should have been IMO.
