Disk WinBench 99

ZD's Content Creation Winstone does not reveal more performance advantages for the IBM drive. However, this benchmark is not particularly made for hard drive benchmarking. The Deskstar 75GXP still scoring better than the others underlines its excellent performance, as the hard drive has only little influence on the result.
