Everest Ultimate and Corporate Edition offer several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.

Read Tests

The large 32MB cache helps the E7K1000 put up great Access Time performance numbers. Here we see the drive obliterating the Seagate ES.2 and getting very close to VelociRaptor numbers.

Write Tests

The Write Latency Tests show that the E7K1000 lags behind the Seagate enterprise offering a little.

Let's see how all of these synthetic benchmarks relate to real world applications.
