h2benchw

h2benchw is another benchmark that delivers accurate numbers relating to storage speed. We're using version 3.13 here.

Performance is down a touch when compared to the 30GB model, surprisingly, but the read/write results are nothing to sniff at.

There's nothing wrong with the write performance of the 120GB drive, either.
