NickK, what model/generation is your MacBook Pro?

I recently upgraded my hard drive in unibody MacBook Pro (2.4Ghz and 4GB memory) to a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB 7200RPM:

Code: 
Disk Test	69.45	
	Sequential	104.88	
		Uncached Write	123.63	75.91 MB/sec [4K blocks]
		Uncached Write	123.31	69.77 MB/sec [256K blocks]
		Uncached Read	66.10	19.34 MB/sec [4K blocks]
		Uncached Read	146.80	73.78 MB/sec [256K blocks]
	Random	51.92	
		Uncached Write	18.71	1.98 MB/sec [4K blocks]
		Uncached Write	162.18	51.92 MB/sec [256K blocks]
		Uncached Read	92.18	0.65 MB/sec [4K blocks]
		Uncached Read	151.51	28.11 MB/sec [256K blocks]

The benchmark was done with lots of applications opened :p

It would be nice to see a benchmark of the original 5400RPM hard drive that came with the unibody MacBook Pro :p
