Found this on the PCMarks discussion message board:

5400 rpm ------------------------ 400 - 650
7200 rpm ------------------------ 750 - 1100 (This is much dependant on the manufacturer, age and the size of the drive)
7200 rpm w/8mb. cache -------- 1300 - 1600
7200 rpm (Raid) ----------------- 1200 - 1500
7200 rpm W/8mb (Raid) --------- 1600 - ...

Wow that seems low then, because I have a WD 80Gig SE w/8Mb Cache. I wonder if my computer (the other components ahve anything to do with it)...I am using a different computer than in my signature.

It's an Abit BH6, Slot 1 Mobo, but I am using the Abit Slocket converter, to use a 1GHz socket 370 chip in it. Maybe it is ATA66.
