New Toshiba SATA Drives Lack Performance Increase

MK4032GSX

We received two versions of the current SATA generation: the MK4032GSX with 40 GB and the MX1032GSX with a whopping 100 GB. It's interesting to see that the 40 GB version offers the quicker access times and better I/O performance, while it is outperformed by the 100 GB version when it comes to data transfer rates.
