Thats just one raptor, right?

Those numbers don't look right. I remember the new raptor's as being advertised with a 4.5ms seek time. I wonder if Sandra needs a "update" in order to bench the new Raptor's correctly?

Scores

HD Tach 2.7 Random Access Time is 7.5ms. Not sure if this is the same as seek time.

http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200311/20031111WD740GD_1.html got a Random access time of 8.6ms on an eng. sample
Same review says seek time is around 4.5 ms


Sandra score of 45,316kb/s is good.
The old 36gb Raptors score about 35,000kb/s.

You typically add on about ~3ms for latency, so the numbers look right.
