Wow, that IS fast. Although, is it me, or should the seek time be a tad faster?Comment

That's about it with HD Tach for 7200 rpm, 8-9 ms drives.
If you will, my 10k rpm, 5ms Raptor gives 8.5-9 ms results.Comment

Not bad at all! I got the 160gb drive for $59 at Compusa, was too tempting to pass up"I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned."Comment

I think WD drives may start with seeks a bit slower then norm. Sort of like a careful workin/check mode.
I seem to recall that my WD drives seeks were faster after a few months use.
Of course, my sig probably explains the real situation

I lived there for 5 years when I was a youngster. I have sworn that I will never return there unless there is not other place on planet earth I can get a job.
