    I've been installing all my programs on my new laptop (9261) and I also ran the hard drive bench test I run on all my machines (DiskBench). It's a simple program, but good for quick testing one PC to the next. I'm averaging about 15MB/s writing, which seems low considering my desktop with a 7200RPM drive is doing about 50MB/s. The laptop drive is 7200RPM as well (200GB).

    Is 15MB/s normal?

    TIA,

    Chip-

    I have a 160gb 7200rpm HDD, and i'm getting about 10mb/sec.
    But currently I have a dvd playing, firefox, netscape, msn, and zone alarm running. So i'm guess my 10mb/sec is normal.
