Anadtech Bench - Light/Heavy Workload 2011: has it ever been run on a hard drive?

As the title says. Are there any results for the Light and Heavy Workload 2011 benchmarks run on hard drives instead of SSDs? I'm interested in seeing the performance difference, mostly on the Light benchmark.

I'm sure the hard drives will look really awful, but I'd like to see them in there for a point of comparison... even if it's just one hard drive.

Results with the Seagate Momentus XT and Intel's Z68 caching solution would be interesting too, although the question of what data would be / should be cached would be extremely complicated.
 
According to the Bench tool on the site its been run on a VelicoRaptor 600GB HDD.

Its right at the bottom with a score of 178 IOs in the light load, which compares to the top dog SSD of the M4 256GB which gets 1001.

BrightCandle, that's the 2010 benchmark, which was measured in average IOPS only. I'm interested in the 2011 benchmark, which has charts for disk busy time and data rate, which are each then broken down into read rate and write rate.
