SpinPoint F1 1TB HDTune Benchmark

There isn't a jumper on that drive or another that limits it to SATA1 is there? I had something similar on my rig where 1 of my 1.5tb drives was performing much lower then the other. For me it turned out that I had the SATA1 jumper enabled on my 500gb drive which seemed to be affecting it and the next port. Removed this jumper and all has been fine since.

i dont think so?

Here is a snapshot of hdtune from my drive for reference. Running on intel ich9r Win7 standard achi driver. Acess time is higher then expected, but i just atributed that to a feature of 1tb drives due to the higher densities ?

I think people are getting confused about access times. The times claimed by the manufacturers are rarely met in real life scenarios. 14.6ms for example is perfectly acceptable for that disk, despite the manufacturer claiming 8.9 ms. I'm not sure where the extra time comes from (probably data moving through the board and memory etc), but it's normal from what I understand.

SSDs are another matter though.
