FC-Test - continued
Next, File Copy Test combines read and write tasks with some, er, copy tests.

Things get a little more interesting at the front of the pack when we switch to file copy workloads. The 640GB Caviar still leads the field with two test patterns, but it can't quite match the performance offered by the SpinPoint F1 in the other three. Interestingly, the SE16 actually sneaks a win with the ISO test pattern here.

FC-Test's second wave of copy tests involves copying files from one partition to another on the same drive.

When we switch to partition-to-partition file copy operations, it's only with the ISO test pattern that the 640GB Caviar manages to top the SpinPoint. With the remaining four test patterns, the SE16 maintains a lock on second place.
