Are my Seagate 7200.10s slow?

I'm running 2 250GB Seagate Barracudas 7200.10 in RAID-0. However, on the windows loadup screen, the bar goes across nearly 9 times! Its actually more than my old one did iirc. Could I have missed something out in the installation? Or is this normal?

Is there a benchmark I can run to check they're running OK?

Anyone got an idea if this normal or not? If so, is my Windows taking too long or am I just being paranoid?
