Benchmarks: Access Time

Wow, that's a little surprise! The access time is even a bit less than with WD's new 45 GByte IDE hard drive.

Running CC Winstone 2000 from WD's 1394 solution produces 10% lower scores than running it from WD's normal internal 45 GB hard drive. This score will even improve once the 1394-device is equipped with an ATA33 chip.
