For testing external enclosers and drives, I decided to modify our test platform for FC test to reflect more of what an external drive would be used for.  In these tests, FC test performs 3 major categories of testing in 2 different classes. Read, Write, and Copy tests are performed in MP3 (271 Files, 990MB Total Size). and DVD ISO C.O.D. has added the DVD ISO test (3 files at various common DVD ISO file sizes). The application captures the time it takes to do these 3 tasks in each subset, and then calculates the speed in which it was completed. This test has proven to be repeatable and expressive of a drives performance.
