Holy crap that's cool !

"That's the workstation at the office."

Show off

Sorry about what is probably a newbie question, but How do you prevent the Command window from going away after the command is finished?

That actually isn't that great a score, especially for a workstation.  I get 119 MB/s on a 2 year old core2duo/RAID1 with 3 year old Western Digital SATA's.

Then again, we passe on Outlook/Office 2007, the performance was not ever satisfactory for us.  Might be worth looking into again however.

Oh but your laptop does better than my brand new HP Elitebook 2530p.  We only get 33.72 MB/s there...  :(

Interesting that Feature Enumeration picks a different algorithm to test with. Not exactly what you'd call best practice in benchmarking. No doubt for normalising a score between 1.0 and 5.9.

Hey, I peeled these apples quicker with peeler A than these oranges with peeler B. Peeler A must be better! Err, not necessarily.

Be interesting to see what you get on both boxes for sequential disk speed using the same benchmarking algorithm and comparing it with the values above.

shouldnt you use the -write parameter instead of -read?

from the article:

"A good metric to use when gauging data file performance on specific hardware is the disk drive's noncontiguous write performance."
