HD Tune results are these about right?

Transfer rate

minimum - 22.9mbs
maximum - 79.2mbs
average - 60.8mbs

access time - 18.3ms

burst rate - 89mbs

cpu usage 6.7%

seems a little bad to me?
i replaced a maxtor drive which was also a 320 gig which felt slow too, these results seem slow compared to some ive read on here?

Those are pretty much as I would expect for one of those drives (it's one of the older 2 platter ones). The burst rate is maybe a bit low but it won't make a huge difference to real world performance.

i only just recieved the drive was after the single platter version
