LG GGW-H10N detail information

The Verbatim 12GB USB HD Drive has the built-in USB 2.0 connectivity that allows a fast data transfer rate. We will test its reading and writing performance using HD Tach RW version 3.0.1.0. HD Tach RW is a more advanced version of HD Tach containing all features of HD Tach 3 commercial and free (non-commercial), plus the ability to perform sequential write tests, perform full read/write tests of the drive and save test data to Excel compatible CSV files.

HD Tach will test the sequential read, random access and interface burst speeds of the drive. The test results from HD Tach can be used to confirm manufacturer specs, analyze your system for proper performance, and compare your performance with others if needed.

We will now test the drive with HD Tach RW using three methods:

• Quick bench (8mb zones)
• Long bench (32mb zones)
• Full bench (variable zone)

Quick bench (8mb zones)

The random access benchmark is 30.6ms, which is the average time to read a randomly located sector on the drive. The screenshot also shows average read test of 10.1 MB/s, which is the average read speed across the entire disk. The burst speed of 17.6 MB/s is pretty slow for today’s needs.

Long bench (32mb zones)

Similar to the quick bench, the random access benchmark is 36.2ms and the average read speed across the entire disc is 10.1 MB/s. Burst speed shows 18.4 MB/s which is slightly higher then the first benchmark however it is still pretty slow given that it’s capable for USB 2.0 speed.

Full bench (variable zones)

In our last test, the results are alike with the other two tests. Random access of 27.9 ms, average read speed of 10.1 MB/s and burst speed of 17.6 MB/s.

This concludes our review, lets head on to the last page to read our conclusion…
