I'm not really into benchmarking, but I just ran a HD Tach test because I was curious, and I ended up with this result:
This is with a 200GB Seagate 7,200rpm ATA drive with 8MB of cache.
Doesn't it seem a tad bit too good? I ran the test multiple times, rebooted the system and ran it again, and the results have been pretty consistent. I've been looking around the web, and my results seem to look better than the ones I'm seeing for 10,000rpm WD Raptors, other SATA 3GB/s drives, and even RAID0 setups.
What's up with that?
