Dunno why there is a difference between the random access time for the hitachi's :huh: anyway they do seem like a good buy and are a lot cheaper (400 bucks) than the Seagate :D

I get the exact same average transfer rate and no amount of tweaking has made me get even a piddly 0.1 MB/s improvement - seems these HDDs are locked at this transfer rate :)

What price did you pay for these Hitachi 320GB HDDs ? Where did you buy them from ? I was given a lower price for the 320GB Seagate compared to the Hitachi :(

I can't seem to delete it, so just disregard the previous post. It seems I have forgot to remove the jumper that limits the drive to 1.5Gbps. Here's the more accurate bench for this drive:

What do the undulations in the graph mean? Does a straight line graph improve throughput/latency and how do I make it?
