Access times on the new WD's is 1.5 mS slower than the older versions.

So are you seeing around 14~15ms then?

Yea, pretty much, I got the 1600JB and it comes in around 14.8-14.9ms.

1800JB tested identical using HD Slack. 🙂 14.5 mS access time on average. Drive is noiser than both the 1200JB and especially the 800JB. I just got some retail 400BB's that actually had 400JB's in the box! I saw the pink banner in the box that said added bonus and I thought they put 600BB's in there. (sometimes this happens)

Anyway, a 40GB drive with 8MB of cache isn't bad for $60. 80GB with 8MB for $80 was obviously better though.

Cheers!
