[ortoklaz]

Can someone tell me what's average transfer rate should be for Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB ?
Got 2x same hdd ,one trans.rate-average=115MB/s and onother one 71MB/s
Thank you

WD's official spec sheet says 113MB/sec. Note however, that this is the maximum transfer rate, not the average. The speed will range from that rate at the outermost tracks to perhaps about 60MB/sec when the heads are positioned at the innermost tracks.
