Hmm, rather slow drives by the looks of it. I would expect most modern drives to do around 50MB/s not 30MB/s. I get 44MB/s on my 120GB WD SATA drive. It looked like it was a seagate that you are using. I wonder if they have gotten better, since I recall reading some not so nice opinions on Seagate SATA drives by Hedrick.
