Hi all, what would be a normal boot time for a Raptor? My rig takes about a minute to a minute and ten seconds to boot with the Raptor as the boot drive.

Also, what would be a normal Raptor's speed as measured by something like Hdtune, or hdtach? What does all the stuff those programs test mean, and what is good and bad? It confuses me.

For Hdtune, here are the numbers I got:

Transfer Rate

Minimum
7.1 mb/sec

Maximum
84.9 mb/sec

Average
72.4 mb/sec

Access time:
8.3 ms

Burst Rate
108.9 mb/sec

CPU Usage
9.8%

For Hdtach, long bench, they are:

Random Access: 8.1 ms

CPU Utilization: 11% (+/-2%)

Average Read: 77.2 mb/s

Burst Speed: 134.9 mb/s

Do those numbers and boot time look normal for a Raptor? Thanks in advance.
