|  Post your Hard Drive Benchmark (HD Tach)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Another E-peen thread brought to you by gurusan!
Get HD-Tach here.
HdTach
Do the short (8mb) test and post your results.
Note: For those running Vista or Server 08, set the shortcut compatibility mode to Windows XP Sp2 or it won't run. ----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's my cheapo Hitachi Deskstar 320gb 8mb 7200rpm drive. Did better than I expected, I plan to upgrade to a 640gb or 1TB drive soon though

Dunno how bad or good that is, Does it matter if I was running a million applications when I tested?

Open applications don't really matter as long as they are completely idle. Obviously if they are accessing the drive then it will affect the benchmark.
Anyway your results look spot on for the drive's specs I think.
To note:
Average read: higher is better
burst: higher is better
Random access: lower is better

I got two drives so.....  
The first one is my windows drive, the second is my storage.
I think i did ok, im running folding @ home smp so that might make a difference.
Both the same drive, 8mb cache, i got jipped (thought i was buying a 32mb cache drives).

not too bad. i'd like to see what it does in raid but i don't feel like formatting everything. such a nuissance.
