Saqib,

Do you have any kind of "user experience" benchmark?
What I mean is that disk access time is the easiest parameter to measure,
however in many cases the user does not "feel" the access time degradation
on day to day use.
Is there a kind of a benchmark showing measurements for different kind of
users (i.e. compilation tools, silicon design tools, office tools, etc.)?

Thanks,
Yoram

Hello Javier,

Sorry for the late response. I used a File Access Timer utility. This
utility is for limited distribution to only disk management software
(e.g. defrag) vendors. It can read a complete file, and you can define
the block size. It produces excellent stats.

However I think one could write this utility in C. It shouldn't be that
complex.

If you going to perform the test, please try with smaller file sizes.
That would be interesting.
