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.

The SpinPoint T gets off to a good start, matching the Barracuda 7200.10 at the top of the 7,200-RPM field in WorldBench. Western Digital's latest 10k-RPM Raptors are faster, of course, but only by one point.

Adobe Premiere is the only multimedia editing and encoding test to stress our drives, and the SpinPoint slots in just behind the Raptors at the head of the class.
