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.

To make things easier to read, we've separated our FC-Test results into individual graphs for each test pattern. We'll tackle file creation performance first.

VelociRaptor file creation speeds are lower with the production firmware across all five test patterns. The VR150 remains an absolute beast, though.

What the VelociRaptor lost in our file creation tests it gains back when it comes time to read those files. Not only is the VR150 faster than the engineering sample across the board, it's faster than any other drive we've tested.
