It's the performance across the disk. It worse as you move from the outside edge to the inside edge of the platter.

I just did it, but for some reason my computer crashed seemingly right after the test finished. Anyone else have that problem?

I did see my results though: 68MB average and 15ms response on my Seagate 250.

I care more about gaming performance then HD performance though, lol.

And I do have AIM, but I haven't been on for about a year, lol.

i'm the total opposite, i have high caliber hardware but a mid-level graphics card. the only game i play seriously enough to care about it Counter-Strike:Source so i don't really need to worry about system specs, i mean my laptop can play it at max settings.

Yes, lower the better. Yours is lower because you have a 10K RPM drive.

cool i was gonna get angry as i bought that drive to be faster lol... if i bought it and it was getting pawnd by 7200rpm drives i would put it on ebay!

i know there will be a couple out there as technology moves on so fast:mad:
