IBM Deskstar 75GXP Ultra ATA 100 Hard Drive

In the Disk Transfer Tests, the IBM 75 GXP kicks into high gear, as its 15.3 GB per platter data densities allow it to lead the pack by 6.2 MB/s in the outer tracks. Its lead slips somewhat near the inner tracks, as it falls .6 MB/s under the Quantum Fireball Plus LM's score, but its overall average is still way above the nearest competitor.

The 4.2% in the above charts shows the CPU utilization of the IBM 75 GXP during the disk inspection portion of the ZD benchmarks. The benchmark display engine is not currently set up to display these scores properly, however, they will be available when we implement the new benchmark engine.
