These seem right ?

Just wanna check if these drives are performing correctly

Western Digital Raptor 74GB WD740ADFD 10,000RPM SATA 16MB Cache



Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS SATA-II 16MB Cache



replies would be appreciated, as im not 100% on SATA setups and dont know what speeds etc they should be running at, still used to ATA

Yes, they look about right.

I have the 8MB cache 74GB Raptor, and that is certainly quite an increase in the Average read figure from the 16MB cache version over the 8MB cache version.

Also quite an impressive Average read figure from the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 HDD.

These are the first HDTach benches I have seen.

cheers bud, i wasnt too sure . one thing though is windows seems to take a while to load up compared to normal ata hard drives that have been freshly formatted and installed, any idea why? i just wanna get my moneys worth from this Raptor and make sure its running at the best possible speed in my current setup
