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

Western Digital's dominance isn't nearly as complete when we move to copy workloads. However, the Caviar Black still manages to stay in the top three. It's not fast enough to take on the VelociRaptor here, but it does stay ahead of the SE16. Samsung's SpinPoint F1 also fares well in this batch of tests, no doubt a testament to sustained throughput that can be wrung from its 334GB platters.

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

For the first time, the SpinPoint F1 sweeps the Caviar Black in FC-Test. The Black has little trouble staying ahead of the rest of the terabyte field, though.
