ZD Winbench99 Disk Winmarks

It is not surprising that most the benchmark results obtain in both application based benchmarks depends a lot on the disk performance of the test system. Winbench99 Disk Winmarks provides us with a better view on it's impact on overall system performance.

* HEDW - High End Disk Winmarks, BDW - Business Disk Winmarks

Most of the time, Winbench99 results indicate the performance of the disk performance. This result will indirectly affect the previous CCWS results most of the time as Content Creation software usually has a lot of disk swapping and movement of data involved.

The EPoX 8K9A2+ seems to exhibit a better performance especially in the High End Disk Winmarks and Business Disk Winmarks. Although the difference isn't a lot, the impact to overall I/O is quite substantial in disk bound I/O applications.
