    Kind of a weird constancy and average speed for a HDD, isn't it? ;)

    Text your boy Abe84, I'm sure he has an answer for you.

    But really, you just short-stroked the 500GB drive.

    she was asking about the sudden drop i assume. I would not care too much about it, probably program related issue.

    Read the first line of her post, my furry tree-swinging friend. She is wondering why it is so even. She is just testing the fastest 8% of the drive. Those spikes you are referring to happen all the time and can be ignored.

    Oh I didn't pay attention 40GB is selected! I guess that explains it :) I was wondering why the graph is not dropping as it should :)

    Ok, thanks ;) It looks way more realistic now ;)
