what really bothers me is the data above threshold on the new drive. What is weird is that the data is almost identical to the old drive that i thought i had to replace and the drive before that....... My motherboard is a ga-p35-s3. Can anyone help?

I think you want to see faster read/write speeds, and I think you're using the wrong tool to benchmark this. May I suggest HD Tune?
