New 1TB powerful contender, WD1001FALS test

Western Digital had released its latest 1TB internal desktop HDD, WD1001FALS, under its brand new WD Caviar Black series.

 Test from coolaler setup:

CPU Intel Core 2 Quad QX9650 4005 MHz

Graphics HD3870

Motherboard Model Maximus Extreme

Memory Corsair Memory DDR3-1800

HDD Mtron MSD-3025*2 / WD WD1001FALS*1

RAID card Adaptec RAID 2405

 

PCMARK 05

PCMARK Vantage gains in comparison

WD3000GLFS [300GB] versus WD1001FALS [1000GB], an inner comparison.

Quite good is the new 1TB drive form Western Digital, not topping the performance list while having its own clear advantages in CPU usage, burst rate and access time.

Good job from WD!
