Next, File Copy Test combines read and write tasks in some, er, copy tests.

Copy tests certainly seem to suit the VelociRaptor. The VR150 turns in the fastest performance with each test pattern, by healthy margins across the board. Older Raptors really show their age here, trailing not only the VelociRaptor but just about every other 7,200-RPM hard drive released in the last year.

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

The SpinPoint F1 steals one from the VelociRaptor in FC-Test's partition copy tests, but the VR150 comes out on top with the four remaining test patterns.
