Snubblade över mycket bra (läsvärda) tester hos StorageRewiev av olika hårdiskar som kan intresera flera - Maxtor och IBM i all ära, själv satsar jag utan att tveka på Western Digitals WD1200JB - hastighet 7200rpm - efter följande läsning:

Som jag fattat det så spöar WD´s disk som har 8MB i cahe alla andra, en bit in i denna långa test fanns följande:
At an impressive 413 IOs/sec, the WD1200JB is the first ATA drive to break the 400 mark, easily the fastest ATA drive we´ve yet put to the test. It improves upon the standard WD1200BB (no slouch in its own right) by an amazing 22% as well as besting the previous IDE champ, Western Digital´s own WD1000BB-SE, by 4%. To put this into perspective, consider this: the JB is a staggering 36% faster than the next closest non-WD competitor (IBM´s Deskstar 60GXP)! Such margins are incredible in the hard drive world.
The JB performs equally well in the High-End DriveMark 2002. Here it again the JB improves upon the already stellar WD1000BB-SE and comes within striking distance (less than 2%) of Maxtor´s leading 10,000 RPM SCSI drive, the Atlas 10k III.
Conclusion
With desktop performance and capacity vastly superior to the competition as well as a surprisingly low operating temperature, the Caviar WD1200JB reaffirms Western Digital´s preeminence in the IDE desktop performance segment. In fact, for desktop usage, the JB bests all 10k RPM drives save only Maxtor´s Atlas 10k III.
Once again we´re obligated to point out an interesting fact. The hardware enthusiast market, comprising a significant portion of StorageReview.com´s readership, has always pledged it would respond enthusiastically to the world´s first 10,000 RPM drive. These folks want the performance of a 10k RPM SCSI drive without the SCSI premium. The WD1200JB, like the WD1000BB-SE, delivers the desktop performance of a good 10k RPM drive according to tests constructed from real-world, high-level applications. If you want SCSI´s performance without its price or capacity limits, the WD1200JB is the drive for you.
