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.

The SATA25 is a huge improvement over Super Talent's previous generation solid-state drive in WorldBench, turning in an overall score 13 points higher than that of its predecessor. That score is nearly good enough to catch Hitachi's Travelstar 7K100, although desktop drives prove faster.

Multimedia editing and encoding

MusicMatch Jukebox

Windows Media Encoder

Adobe Premiere

VideoWave Movie Creator

The SATA25 scores a win in WorldBench's Windows Media Encoder workload, but the results from the Premiere test are far more interesting. There, the SATA25 is nearly twice as fast as the older IDE Flash drive and even quicker than the Travelstar. The SATA25 also shows a marked improvement over the IDE Flash in the Movie Creator test.
