Hello,
My PC now has two hard drives, with the following performance measured in HD Tach, and I'm wondering which drive I should use for installing Windows 7 on:
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 250GB
--------------------------------------------
Average sequential read: 57.7 MB/s
Random access: 12.9 ms
Burst: 254.3 MB/s
CPU load: 0%
WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3..running in SATA2 mode
--------------------------------------------
Average sequential read: 112.6 MB/s
Random access: 13.1 ms
Burst: 233.6 MB/s ...also, why is this lower than the Seagate? 🙁
CPU load: 4%
I assumed the WD drive would blow the Seagate out of the water, and it does for sequential read, but would this benefit performance as the OS drive, or would the Seagate be better with its higher burst speed and slightly lower random access time?
Thanks!
