This was done for the MP3 and Lossless playlist for each storage medium. The iPod was fully charged, reset and booted up, the playlist was selected and played.
#TARKAN IFLASH QUAD 320KBPS#
So as mentioned above we have two playlists, one with 320kbps MP3’s (~6Mb per track) and the other with high bitrate lossless m4a files (~30Mb per track). The User Experience reflects the benchmarking results above – the ultimate in smooth scrolling through thousands of albums, near instant album art display goes to the SDXC and DUAL cards…. The SD-CF Adapter is designed to be ready for access in under 100mS, and the SDXC cards have virtually instant access times – which result in a blistering 5.7 & 5.6 seconds buffer fill times. The mSata comes in 2nd with a time of 6.7 seconds this maybe surprising but the SATA bus actually takes some time to handshake and negotiate the link from powerup. HDD is the slowest at 7.5 seconds which was to be expected as it takes over 1 second for the drive to spin-up before actually reading any data. While the SDXC & DUAL have the slowest raw transfer speeds, they are hands down winners of the Read-ahead and access times test. As a reference, freshly restored iPod boots up in around 24 seconds. The SDXC only takes 2 seconds longer to boot – The overriding factor is the time the iPod takes to parse through the iTunes database of 36000 tracks in the case of the SDXC and mSata drive, still the HDD takes close to 50seconds to boot while having only 24000 tracks to parse. Considering the mSata read speeds are much faster than the SDXC. Interestingly, it looks like the storage read speed does not impact the boot time as much as you would expect.
