Re:AAE vs AAK: It's a tie (Score 1)

The article also tested the extraction of 108.000 files to the same volume, not exactly a sequential task i would figure. The AAE disk timed over 30 seconds faster than AAK in this task, and that includes many head movements. This is real time gained and will be quite noticeable since these are times when you as a user really 'feel' the performance of a drive. Waiting half a minute longer is a noticeable performance difference. It's not just about sequential performance, if that was all...
