HD Benchmark thread

[lil_jimmy_norton]

We've all seen 3dMark comparison threads, super pi threads, and the like. So I though I'd start a HD Benchmark Thread so we can compare HDs.

The program to use is HDTach, simple little download HERE. We will be comparing the long test.

Please post the following info.

Drive Manufacturer
Size
Interface
RPM
Cache
Results.

Example: Mine would be

Western Digital
150GB
SATA
10,000
16MB
Random Acess 7.9Ms
CPU Util 7%
Avg Read 78.1 MB/s
Burst 138MB/s

Great. Keep it up, these results are very interesting.

Just one question: When you compile the list, will there be seperate charts for single hd's and raid setups?

I wasn't really planning on compiling it, but if I were of course there would be a seperate category.
