Overall System Performance - Winstone 2004
Business Winstone 2004
Business Winstone 2004 tests the following applications in various usage scenarios:- Microsoft Access 2002
- Microsoft Excel 2002
- Microsoft FrontPage 2002
- Microsoft Outlook 2002
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2002
- Microsoft Project 2002
- Microsoft Word 2002
- Norton AntiVirus Professional Edition 2003
- WinZip 8.1
The actual Business Winstone 2004 benchmark gives Samsung the credit by giving the HD160JJ 26.7 and 27.1 points with and without NCQ enabled, respectively. Western Digital comes in at last here and it seems that NCQ has no effect on business application performance.

Multimedia Content Creation Winstone 2004 tests the following applications in various usage scenarios:- Adobe® Photoshop® 7.0.1
- Adobe® Premiere® 6.50
- Macromedia® Director MX 9.0

- Microsoft® Windows MediaTM Encoder 9 Version 9.00.00.2980
- NewTek's LightWave® 3D 7.5b
- SteinbergTM WaveLabTM 4.0f
Here we go! It looks as though SATA300 performance kicks in during the Content Creation benchmarks. All of our test drives shot to the top of the list between 36.1-36.6 points with Western Digital's WD1600JS coming in at first. NCQ still had no visible effect on Hitachi's and Samsungs drives.

---quote---Our first benchmark shows Western Digital's WD1600JS coming in at second best in pure hard disk performance at 719 IO operations per second while the 74GB 15000RPM Raptor still tops the charts.

Um... did I miss something? Aren't Raptors 10k in RPMs?
