    Hi,

    I'm concerned I have my SATA drive setup properly. It's a Maxtor Diamond 9 Plus 120gb w/ 8Mb cache.

    I ran "DiskBench" program to test the transfer speed and got 18MB/s!! On the drive it says 1.5GB/s and i've heard SATA is supposed to be able to do 300MB/s so for now I'm completely confused. What should I do?

    try aida32 ... goto Plugin>aida32 disk benchmark ... select the drive and choose the linear read tab, I get about 55 MB/s

    I get about 75mb/s with 2 Diamondmax 10s in RAID 0.
