WorldBench overall performance
WorldBench uses scripting to step through a series of tasks in common Windows applications. It then produces an overall score. WorldBench also spits out individual results for its component application tests, allowing us to compare performance in each. We'll look at the overall score, and then we'll show individual application results alongside the results from some of our own application tests.
Seagate's perpendicular-powered Barracudas are the fastest 7,200-RPM drives in WorldBench, but interestingly, the ES is one step slower than the 7200.10.

Scores are close through WorldBench's multimedia editing and encoding tests. The Barracuda 7200.10's usually a little faster than the ES, though.
