    Can any owner of Western Digital 320GB 5400 RPM laptop drive (WD3200BEVT) post HD Tune or HD Tach benchmark score? I would like to know how does the score compare with 200GB 7200 RPM Hitachi hard drive? I know there has been a debate on which hard drive is faster but I would like to see benchmark score to settle the debate.

    Mine is on a delivery van right now, and I can't wait. I'd love to see the HD performance scores too! :notworthy:

    I bought the WD drive to replace my clunking & slow performing 2 month old 250GB Samsung Spinpoint M5.
