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.

Samsung gets off to a good start with the F1 taking top honors in WorldBench. Of course, it's not alone at the top, sharing the limelight with a trio of Western Digital drives. Note that the Spinpoint does score better than four other terabyte offerings, though.

Multimedia editing and encoding

MusicMatch Jukebox

Windows Media Encoder

Adobe Premiere

VideoWave Movie Creator

Scores are generally tight through WorldBench's multimedia editing and encoding tests, with Premiere the only real exception. There, the Spinpoint reigns supreme with a seven-second advantage over its closest competitor and up to 22 seconds over the slowest terabyte drive in the bunch.
