WorldBench
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 X25-E scores five points higher than its MLC-based cousin in WorldBench. That makes it the fastest drive we've ever tested here, and not by an insignificant margin.

Although it's not often much faster than the competition, the Extreme still turns in the quickest times through WorldBench's multimedia editing and encoding tests. Only in the Premiere test does the X25-E put some real distance between itself and the rest of the field, besting the VelociRaptor by 18 seconds.
