What is typical performance from a Perp. Recording Seagate Drive?

I just benchmarked my SATA Seagate 7200.10 hard drive with the following results:
Minimum Transfer Rate: .9MB/sec
Maximum Transfer Rate: 57.8MB/sec
Average Transfer Rate: 50.1MB/sec

Access Time: 13.2ms
Burst Rate: 113.8MB/sec
CPU Usage(2.4GHZ X2):49.9%

Has anybody benchmarked their hard drives to compare to these results? Any info. would be helpful, thanks.
 
tomshardware.com did a review that covered nearly all of the 7200.10 series. The performance of the 320 is a bit lower than the 250 in some tests and a bit better in others. They found that all of the series that use all the space on the platter were a bit slower than those that didn't use all the available space. IOW, the 250 and 320 are the same drive except that the 320 uses all the available space on the platter while the 250 doesn't. IDK if any other in the series does use all the available space. But if you look at the numbers, they aren't significantly different in normal use.

But compared to the 320 they tested, you are getting significantly lower performance. They got closer to 80 on the top, 64 average and 40 on the inner tracks. They got 175 for interface bandwidth on the 320.

These aren't good results for 7200.10. The CPU utilization is especially strange -- it looks like a result from a PATA drive running in PIO mode.

Here are my results for comparison -- using a PATA 7200.10, but everything other than the burst should be representative of SATA 7200.10.

It's a SATA drive though.
