File Copy Test
File Copy Test is a pseudo-real-world benchmark that times how long it takes to create, read, and copy files in various test patterns. File copying is tested twice: once with the source and target on the same partition, and once with the target on a separate partition. Scores are presented in MB/s.

The SpinPoint T turns in a very strong performance in FC-Test's file creation tests. Samsung has the fastest drive of the lot with the windows and programs test patterns, which include a larger number of smaller files. Even with the other test patterns, which tend to favor a smaller number of larger files, the SpinPoint performs exceptionally well.

FC-Test continues to be fertile ground for the SpinPoint, which often finds itself at or near the front of the field in the file read tests. Only the 10K-RPM Raptors and perpendicular-powered Barracuda ES and 7200.10 are able to consistently challenge the SpinPoint across all five test patterns.

Samsung continues its strong showing in FC-Test with solid performances in the copy and partition copy tests.
