The mechanical hard disk drive gets slaughtered, most of all in the 4KB random stakes (invisible on this chart): the Barracuda scored 0.628MB/s in reads, and 1.3MB/s in writes.
IOPs show the mechanical drive being decimated — it peaked at 105.37 IOPs.
How the above translates into MB/s: the mechanical drive just manages to break 1MB/s, compared to the Fusion's 291.5MB/s.
Response times are blisteringly fast for the SSDs: the ioDrive only shows its advantage over the Intel X-25E when things get really heavy.
Writes are always slower. Here the mechanical drive posts a maximum of 26.6 IOPs.
The same, but in MB/s. The mechanical drive can't even manage 0.3MB/s.
Response times are typically longer for writes as well.
