Hello everyone,

I've got one of these st32550n 7200rpm 2.1G drives, and it
won't go faster than about 3.3MB/s on block
writes measured by bonnie.  Block reads go about 6MB/s.  My 5400rpm
drives write faster, and read about 4MB/s.  This is on an
ASUS P54TP4, not running X, freshly newfs'd, tunefs'd -m 8 
-a 8 -d 0...  verified in the dumpfs output, ncr, 32MB,
032195 system.

Is this drive a turkey?  Anybody got better results from this
drive?  What are you running?  (I hope I botched something 8-0)

Thanks,
Russell
