Actually, using a variety of Maxtor drives, I don't think I have ever
gotten anything better then 11.5 Megabytes/sec - and this was on boards
with ATA-100.

About a year ago I had several Tyan S2099's with a 40Gb Seagate, and was
doing drive duplications with dd and a FreeBSD boot CD. Again, 11
Megabytes/sec max.
