WorldBench overall performance
WorldBench uses scripting to step through a series of tasks in common Windows applications. It then produces an overall score. WorldBench also spits out individual results for its component application tests, allowing us to compare performance in each. We'll look at the overall score, and then we'll show individual application results alongside the results from some of our own application tests.

The Revo64 proves a little slower than the FastTrak with RAID 0 and 1 arrays. RAID 3 does tie the Promise card's RAID 10 performance, which is impressive considering that the former uses only three drives while the latter requires four. Let's break down WorldBench's overall score into individual results to see how the Revo64 fared in each test.

Multimedia editing and encoding

MusicMatch Jukebox

Windows Media Encoder

Adobe Premiere

VideoWave Movie Creator

Adobe Premiere is the only multimedia editing and encoding app to really benefit from RAID, and the Revo64 leads the field in that test. The card is slightly faster than the FastTrak with RAID 0, but what's really impressive is how little performance is lost moving from RAID 0 to RAID 3. If we remove the RAID 0 arrays and only look at results that provide fault tolerance, RAID 3 on the Revo64 is way out ahead.
