Western Digital EARS Series – 1Tb WD10EARS Review Benchmark
November 6th, 2010 / 5 Comments » / by AF8AB
This is my second 1Tb hard drive, I purchased a Western Digital Caviar Green 1 Tera Byte internal hard disk. Model: WD10EARS – This drive comes with 64Mb Cache and is available in 1.5Tb WD15EARS & 2Tb WD20EARS models too. This is a comparatively slow hard disk as its engineered to be quiet, cool and power efficient.
I did a benchmark using HD TACH and HD Tune Pro to compare it with previous model of Caviar Green 1Tb hard drive that I have WD10EADS. This performs a little faster than old model because of the new 64MB Cache.

Kingston DataTraveler 101 Benchmark
October 30th, 2010 / 2 Comments » / by Faizan
Just got my hands on Kingston DT 101 8GB and did a quick benchmark to compare it with corsair flash voyager 4GB I bought few months back. HD Tach calculated 13.8MB/s Average Read Speed. Average read speed of corsair mini was 18.2 MB/s but who cares if you are getting 2x memory size in less price. It took 63.6 seconds to copy a 698MB file so write speed is around 11 MB/s. Both read and write speeds are better than 10MB/s and 5MB/s that kingston has specified on their website. It costs 1200 Rs and per GB cost is 150RS isn’t it cheap?
