Any PCmark 2004 drive scores out there to compare with?

[Rick]

Anyone care to compare RAID 0 scores?

*Edit - I've added HD Tach & SiSoft Sandra 2004 scores as well


Would anyone mind comparing PCMark 2004 HDD test scores?

I have a 160GB RAID 0 setup (160GB x 2 w/ NTFS). The "catch" being one is IDE and the other is SATA.

These are my scores:

PCMark 2004 - www.futuremark.com
XP Startup: 10.177mb
Application Loading: 6.759mb
File Copying: 42.812mb
General HDD: 6.502mb

HD Tach - www.simplisoftware.com
Read speed MAX: 70.7mb
Minmum Read: 24.4mb
Average Read: 44.2mb

SiSoft Sandra 2004 - www.sisoft.com
Drive Index: 50.1mb/s
Buffered Read 77mb
Seq Read 70mb
Random Read 7mb
Buffered Write 56mb
Seq write 66mb
Random Write 11mb
Access time 7ms



System Specs:

Athlon XP 2700+

I'll run it on my RAID array and my Raptor once I get home. I don't think I've run 2004, only 2002.

Your Raptors will blow me away.

I just have one 74GB Raptor, and two 120GB WD SEs in RAID0. Wish I had two Raptors though

Anyway here are my results...

74GB WD Raptor
Total: 5401
XP Startup: 10.174MB/s (oooh...close)
Application Loading: 8.653MB/s
File Copying: 27.736MB/s (can't expect one drive to beat two, especially on seperate controllers )
General HDD: 7.398MB/s

WD Special Edition RAID0
Total: 4075
XP Startup: 6.894MB/s
Application Loading: 5.693MB/s
File Copying: 29.086MB/s
General HDD: 5.315MB/s

That's certainly not as well as I'd hoped for the array. The Raptor did great. I wonder if the fragmentation of the drive has anything to do with it, I don't think I've defragged even since I've set the array up.

Looks like your Raptor puts up a nice fight against your RAID.

Compared to your results, I would think my setup is performing about like it should.
