WD4000YR Against WD4000KD and WD2500KS and influence NCQ on their productivity
We continue to get acquainted with hard disks WD in capacity of 4 Gbytes — models WD4000KD and WD4000YR series Caviar RE and Caviar SE16. In we have found out, that NCQ in these stores works, but at record there is a number of the disputable moments that can negatively affect productivity of these disks in appendices. So it or not, we shall try to find out further.
Speed in appendices all over again we shall look, how much disks are optimized for mnogopotokovoy works. Here advantages and lacks of work NCQ of disks should be shown evidently. For this purpose I traditionally use tests in program NBench 2. where files in the size of 1 Mb enter the name on a compaq notebook parts disk and are read from it by several simultaneous streams — both is close, and far otstoyasch'imi from each other on a disk (in this case it is used FAT32). On the first diagram the results average on several patterns for reading and are shown only to record. At mnogopotokovoy records without use NCQ results for WD4000KD appear worse almost on %, than with support NCQ, that is both for WD4000KD, and for WD4000YR results of the test of multiline record with NCQ are obviously positive (and are practically identical each other), unlike behaviour in test ATTO Disk Benchmark. Moreover, if we shall look at the detailed diagram of the test of multiline record (below) it will be found out, that speed of record practically does not suffer, as though we increased number of streams (that is files compaq notebook parts written down simultaneously) and as we did not carry them on different sections of the winchester! Very aggressive ke`shirovanie records in 16-megabaytnom the buffer of disks WD4000xx here proves to be true also that fact, that for two of six patterns (one stream and streams carried between sections) speed of performance of operation of record 100-megabaytny'h files appears even above, than speed of the physical carrier. That is, as soon as last fragment of a written down file with speed of the interface has been loaded into the big disk cache, the winchester has informed operational system on the termination of record though physically given still some time will enter the name on compaq notebook parts plates. At the same time, the operational system has already received a signal about the termination of operation of record made by her, and its resources can be released from this problem. That is the test informs us that speed of performance of the given operations what is seen by the user, working in operational system with similar real objects on file system (instead of a certain hypothetical limit which it would be possible sy'mitirovat', say, on not marked disk by means of IOmeter with synthetic, whatever one may do, character of references). I shall in passing notice, that similar aggression ke`shirovaniya records by disks is shown in this test far not for all investigated objects and just is the proof strong write-back-optimizacii firmware the store. For example, (when speed at once two patterns obviously above linear speed of a disk) we can see a picture similar compaq notebook parts to disks WD40 only for winchester Samsung SP2504C which too is famous for the aggression to ke`shirovaniyu records whereas for other of the disks considered here only at Maxtor 7B300R for the unique streams speed of record noticeably exceeds speed of the carrier (and in fact this disk too is famous for the optimization under the postponed record). That is the given test gives us, besides actually speed mnogopotokovoy work with real files under Windows, actually one more criterion for an estimation of efficiency write-back-ke`shirovaniya the buffer of the winchester. There is no need to speak, that WD4000YR and WD4000KD in this test at record with use NCQ show one of the best in a class productivity, it is a little conceding only to magnificent disk compaq notebook parts Samsung SP2504C and advancing on the average even well-known Maxtor MaXLine III and 400-gigabaytny'y disk Seagate NL35, also getting appreciable advantage from application NCQ in the given test of record. However, if to compare with Seagate NL at WD4000YR/KD there is one more important advantage — at mnogopotokovom reading these disks WD also receive the big gain of productivity if it is used NCQ, unlike Seagate NL which cannot brag of it. The average gain of productivity « from NCQ » in this test for WD4000KD reaches the whole of %, that, you see, not a pinch of snuff. Owing to it our heroes at mnogopotokovom reading also appear in in the lead group, conceding only Maxtor compaq notebook parts MaXLine III with 16-megabaytny'm the buffer and to the colleague on series WD2500KS with odnochipovy'm the controller (by the way, both without NCQ). Now we shall look, as disks behave in "advanced", but till now popular tests Disk WinMark of package WinBench 99. I shall remind, that we spend these tests not only for "beginning", but also for "middle" (on volume) the physical carrier for two file systems, and results we average. We shall emphasize, that the driver of controller SiI31 in this case has optimization on file system, ke`shiruya references of operational system and integrating on this controller in test Business do not need to be taken to heart blocks of references, therefore ultrahigh parameters. :) As a whole presence NCQ plays with both 400-gigabaytnikami WD here a malicious joke, essentially reducing productivity both in Business, and in High-End-teste in comparison with a compaq notebook parts case when NCQ it is disconnected (for WD4000KD) or a disk is not supported (WD2500KS). However, even without NCQ disks WD in Business-teste cannot brag of speed to the basic competitors though in professional Hogh-End-teste WD4000KD (without NCQ) divides vtoroe-tret'e a place with disk Samsung SP2504C, and WD2500KS advances all. Now — complex tests of an estimation of productivity of disks in packages PCMark and C'T H2BenchW. Both of them use "playing" preliminary written down scripts of activity of stores in corresponding appendices and measure speed of passage of each of scripts then results are averaged. In the disk test popular Futuremark PCMark04, as well as specified WD in the, store compaq notebook parts WD4000KD with disconnected support NCQ has appeared most quickly other disks of a similar structure. At presence NCQ productivity WD4000KD falls on %, and for WD4000YR it still below — approximately at level WD2500KS, that too it is rather quite good. The same tendency, only it is more underlined, sees to us and in similar track test C'T H2benchW where without NCQ disk WD4000KD is inaccessible to competitors, and with NCQ loses approximately % of speed though thus does not cease to advance all others. Tests of the given structure is quite deserved «konek» senior models WD, and from the given pedestal will displace them very uneasy. Continues negative impression of use NCQ for WD40 the test for compaq notebook parts speed of work with a time file of program Adobe Photoshop: Here again WD4000KD without NCQ works together percent more quickly, than with NCQ, and WD4000YR it appears even more slowly though, for example, WD2500KS with more progressive controller shows in this test miracles of speed, conceding only to disks Maxtor and Hitachi and advancing Samsung SP2504C. In conclusion of this chapter we shall notice, that while anywhere, except for tests of multiline work, a prize from use NCQ in these disks WD it is not observed — more likely on the contrary, some delay of work if NCQ with WD4000KD it is used! That is for typical problems of desktop personal computer NCQ in given disks WD, probably, it is better to not use nevertheless, if it does not concern specific multiline work compaq notebook parts (for example there is, with a multimedia-content). Tests in Intel Iometer For imitation of work of disks in various appendices we also use special patterns in program Intel IOmeter. At first — the traditional widespread patterns offered Intel and a site Storagereview.com, — DataBase, File Server, Web Server and Workstation, describing in a greater degree professional work of stores in servers and serious workstations.
In all four patterns considered above obvious leaders are WD4000YR and WD4000KD with support NCQ: among themselves they are practically equal (KD on an iota better at high turns) and essentially is faster, than when NCQ is disconnected. By the way, with deactivated NCQ disk WD4000KD its colleague on series WD2500KS in which NCQ simply compaq notebook parts it is not used shows almost same productivity, as well as. For comparison also results for 400-gigabaytnogo store Seagate NL which both with NCQ, and without NCQ works obviously more slowly corresponding disks WD here are shown. Though and on speed of linear access, and on average time of search (with NCQ) this disk Seagate noticeably is better, than considered winchesters WD. We shall result and the average data on these patterns and four turns of inquiries (1, 4, and 64). Averaging was spent vectorially without weight factors. Thus, 400-gigabaytny'e winchesters WD, as well as in most WD, in the given problems show the highest among direct competitors productivity, and WD4000KD with support NCQ
It appears compaq notebook parts even a little shustree, than professional WD4000YR. If NCQ in the given disks to disconnect, average speed will fall almost to %!!! Is, above what to reflect. Probably, with NCQ in given disks WD all not so is bad, as could seem from desktopny'h tests. It is confirmed also with tests in a pattern the Workstation. Now — our patterns for IOmeter, closer to destination to users of desktop personal computers and near-line-primeneniy though casual character of references within the limits of all physical carrier in the given patterns is adequate also to a professional structure of use of stores.
At imitation casual readings and records of large files the obvious leader is WD4000KD, but already with disconnected NCQ! Whereas at presence NCQ giants from WD lose in speed very indecently. And at record with use NCQ we find acknowledgement to the problems which compaq notebook parts have been found out by us in test ATTO Disk Benchmark for these stores. However, all the same, these disks WD appear more quickly, than disk Seagate NL of similar capacity. :)
Reading of fine files hardly is better given 400-gigabaytniku Seagate NL though both of the giant from WD go with it practically level with if use NCQ. If do not use, their productivity thus essentially decreases. Casual record of fine files again returns us to results of test ATTO: without use NCQ disks WD Caviar SE (that is WD4000KD and WD2500KS) behave perfectly but as soon as appears NCQ and there is a turn of commands on record (in this case — rather fine blocks), productivity WD4000KD and WD4000YR promptly falls. By the way, any more for the first time we observe, that the behaviour of these of two ostensibly twins at compaq notebook parts record with NCQ noticeably differs. And on example WD4000KD with NCQ we here can observe evidently, that the above the turn of inquiries, the clashes NCQ « from WD » with traditional write-back-algoritmami firmware this disk more, and speed of record on a disk falls.
At imitation of copying of large files to casual addresses within the limits of all disk it is possible to observe some backlog of disks WD from store Seagate NL35, and support NCQ in the whole (as well as at reading or record of large files) has more likely negative an effect on productivity of disks WD (and Seagate by the way). We shall notice, that without NCQ schedules are practically horizontal, that is obvious dependence on depth of turn is not traced. But at compaq notebook parts imitation of casual copying fine files at disks WD we see salutary (if to not tell — life-giving :)) action of support NCQ: speed of copying sharply increases with growth of depth of turn. And it nesprosta. ;) Average in turns of inquiries parameters for all disks in these six previous tests are presented on three following diagrams. Here, in particular, it is visible, that neither on record, nor on reading of large files, on record of fine files support NCQ in given disks WD does not give a positive effect and if to be more exact — gives a negative effect. However, on the other hand, the positive effect from NCQ in disks WD is traced at casual compaq notebook parts reading and copying of fine files.
At Seagate NL35, by the way, the picture with advantage and harm of use NCQ in something is similar, and in something and is distinct from situation WD.
By results of geometrical averaging six previous patterns (reading, record and copying of files to casual addresses) at depth of turn from up to most quickly appears disk Samsung SP2504C (due to magnificent results at copying large files), and stores WD amicably go after the leader, and WD4000KD hardly is better looked without NCQ, and WD4000YR has obviously conceded both WD4000KD, and WD2500KS, and even one-year-old. But disks of other competitors have remained behind! :) At last, in a pattern potokovogo simultaneous chteniya-zapisi large or fine blocks (that can characterize, for example, work of systems of gathering, storage and delivery of multimedia-data in near-line-SHD and servers, and also work of the personal computer or a compaq notebook parts workstation at editing video-audio) a situation for WD40 with NCQ ambiguous. On the one hand, on large blocks we observe some improvement of speed for disks with NCQ at growth of depth of turn, but with another — simultaneously obvious delay of work by fine blocks. For multimedia, probably, it is necessary to be guided by large blocks, where effect from NCQ for WD positive, that, by the way, pereklikaetsya and with a positive effect from NCQ in tests mnogopotokovy'h readings and records for these disks (see above). As a whole considered stores WD here not leaders, conceding to winchesters Samsung and Maxtor though in comparison with analogues of the same capacity from Seagate and Hitachi at WD is than to brag. And e`nergopotreblenie/teplovy'delenie the Manufacturer approves acoustic noise, that the given disks compaq notebook parts are developed so that to have lower temperature during work (that is to allocate less than heat). Unfortunately, this question the given position do not confirm: As opposed to less capacious models WD of these series which really disseminate during work noticeably less than heat, than the majority of competitors (see, for example: 6- watt in a mode idle and 9- watt by active search), disks WD in capacity of 4 Gbytes ( watt for idle and 11, watt by search) and "hotter" in work, than many competitors of the same or close volume. Though, certainly, nevertheless not the most gluttonous, especially by search. The same concerns also noise 400-gigabaytny'h models WD: the manufacturer speaks, that they very silent, but practice shows, that compaq notebook parts they much less silent, than even 250-320-gigabaytny'e models WD — and on rotation of plates, and on search. Unfortunately, if fine models WD can be named one of most maloshumyasch'ih desktop disks at present to WD4000KD and WD4000YR these words are inapplicable. The rumble from rotation of plates of these stores and "low" strekot is especially clearly audible by active search (all we test copies of these stores). So if you plan to use these disks « for the house, for family » be going to be reconciled with the raised noise level and to attend to the best cooling of these models (probably even — by means of the additional fan). The price information compaq notebook parts on the considered disks in volume of 4 Gbytes in the Moscow retail: WD Caviar RE WD4000YR $1 (38) WD Caviar SE WD4000KD $1 (28) Seagate NL35. ST3400832NS N/D (1) Seagate NL35. ST3400632NS N/D (1) Seagate NL35. ST3400833NS N/D (2) Seagate NL35. ST3400633NS N/D (1) Seagate Barracuda 7200. ST3400832AS N/D (2) Seagate Barracuda 7200. ST3400833AS $1 (26) Seagate Barracuda 7200. ST3400633AS $1 (36) Hitachi Deskstar 7K4 HDS724040KLSA N/D (4) Hitachi Deskstar 7K4 HDS724040KLAT N/D (4) Given "average" price information, certainly, is conditional enough but if nevertheless to start with it it is possible to note, that the price on 400-gigabaytny'e models WD now below, than on similar compaq notebook parts disks Seagate, and professional model RE will manage to you approximately for 20- dollars more dearly, than desktopnaya SE16. Whether it is necessary to overpay so much for raised reliability (at as it appears, slightly lowered speed), - to solve to you. The conclusion
So, hard disks Western Digital in capacity of 4 Gbytes of different series — WD4000YR Caviar RE and WD4000KD Caviar SE — have appeared are very similar against each other. Also it would be possible to think, that they the perfect twins, if not a little bit various (in some problems) productivity (not in favour of professional model WD4000YR), and not a number of features of model WD4000YR connected with its applicability (RAID-optimizaciya, the best reliability, is more guarantee period). Certainly, company WD can be congratulated on development of the next boundaries diskostroeniya: capacities of 4 Gbytes (in a year after compaq notebook parts Hitachi and Seagate), chety'rehplastinnoy configurations (owing to which WD now can let out « small blood » and similar 500-gigabaytny'e models; we very much wait for them, as we count on new unsurpassed speeds in tests ;)), and NCQ began to be supported for the first time WD in these two models. However, as to NCQ, WD not without reason with its support for the desktop stores: as show our numerous tests (and tests of the manufacturer), in present disks of this company at support NCQ productivity noticeably falls at performance of the majority of the problems typical for the desktop personal computer. And more detailed analysis lead by us, in particular, in compaq notebook parts this clause, reveals the reason of this falling — on a number of operations of record support NCQ in firmware disks WD obviously clashes with well verified and highly effective algorithms write-back-ke`shirovaniya in these disks having besides and the buffer which have increased up to Mb of data. By the way, in connection with operations of reading of claims to realization NCQ in these stores WD at us practically has not arisen. And it, in particular, promotes that in many professional appendices (among which — server loadings and mnogopotokovaya work with large files) use NCQ goes 400-gigabaytnikam WD only on advantage, in some cases adding from up to % of productivity! And in typical desktop work these disks WD can behave not worse leaders (and even at all leaders) if support NCQ for compaq notebook parts these disks easier to disconnect at a level host-kontrollera. However, we with these disks WD do not say goodbye and another time we shall try to check up their optimization for work in RAID-massivah in comparison with direct competitors.) it is published on June, 1st, 2006
