Our Tests

As you could see on previous page we used three different programs to measure performance, DiskSpeed 32, HD Tach and HD Tune. Let’s see the results.

 160 GB HDs Roundup

With DiskSpeed32 we saw Seagate’s model burst transfer rate being 3.8% higher than Maxtor’s and 11% higher than Samsung’s. All hard disk drives achieved a similar maximum sustained transfer rate. Samsung’s model achieved an average transfer rate around 7% higher than the one achieved by the other two drives, which achieved similar transfer rates.

160 GB HDs Roundup

According to HD Tach Seagate’s model is again the drive with the highest burst transfer rate, being 11% higher than Maxtor’s and 3% higher than Samsung’s. All three drives achieved the same average transfer rate on this program.

160 GB HDs Roundup

On HD Tune Seagate’s model again achieved the best burst transfer rate, which was 6% higher than Maxtor’s and almost 30% higher than Samsung’s. The two “twin brothers” achieved the same maximum continuous transfer rate, which was around 5% higher than Samsung’s. All drives achieved a similar average transfer rate.
