Creation Winstone 2004 is a system-level, application-based benchmark that
measures a PCs overall performance when running top, Windows-based 32-bit
content creation applications in Windows XP. Business Winstone 2004
runs real applications through a series of scripted activities and uses the time
a PC takes to complete these activities to produce its performance
scores.
Surprisingly, the single and mirrored 74GB WD740 Raptor
setups are slightly outrun by their Seagate equivalents in our
first test, though the striped WD740 Raptor drives rose above everything else.
Obviously the Content Creation benchmark does not see any benefit from RAID, but
the Business Winstone test benefited noticeably.

Sandra 2005 saw the single WD740 Raptor and mirrored
RAID WD740 Raptor drive array as identical in performance. A
significant boost from the RAID 0 configuration here, though interestingly the
RAID 0 Seagate drive configuration pulled the highest continuous write
score.
