I dont really know, I dont think its possible to get higher then that from a
5400 RPM disk. Heres mine,
FUJITSU 40.9GB MPG3409AT 5400 RPM
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 7.96 seconds = 8.04 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 7.07 seconds = 9.05 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 6.70 seconds = 9.55 MB/sec
Seems pretty normal to me. However yours is alot better then mine.
