Performance
We connected this drive to our test rig's SATA port to put it through our tailor-made test process. We used benchmarking tools such as H2Bench, HDTach, HD Tune, and SiSoftware Sandra Professional Business XIIc.
H2Bench is a low-level hard drive testing utility and gives an indication of the raw performance of the drive. The drive was not formatted while we conducted this test; it did not hold any filesystem. The drive returned a very good score of 187.2 MB/s in the "core test," putting it on par -- and even ahead of -- most desktop hard drives. We also measured the access times for the whole disk, and found them to be 12.63 ms for reading and 7.08 ms for writing.
HDTach RW 3.0.1.0 is yet another low-level test that does not require the hard drive to have a filesystem.
HD Tune Pro 3.00 is a hard disk benchmarking utility capable of performing lower-level as well as filesystem benchmarks and displaying the result in the form of a graph. We ran the read as well as the write test to measure the transfer speeds, burst speeds, and access time across the entire drive -- and obtained the results as in the figure.

Does the warranty hold if this drive is put into a casing? Is it advisable to put this in a casing?
