Now it is connected via usb 'cause I use firewire for capturing and have
only 1 1394 port on mobo.

Usb gives:

gaura-nitai ~ # hdparm -t /dev/sde

/dev/sde:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   82 MB in  3.06 seconds =  26.81 MB/sec

I did experiment with firewire and here is the result:

gaura-nitai ~ # hdparm -t /dev/sde

/dev/sde:
 Timing buffered disk reads:   72 MB in  3.07 seconds =  23.47 MB/sec


Sincerely,
Gour
