dunno. i have an 8.4GB UDMA66 (but 5400rpm) fujitsu drive here, it's for
my cousin but i haven't installed it yet. i could attach it to my computer
and do some bonnie and hdparm tests to measure its speed..
oh and a disclaimer: i personally have NEVER used fujitsu drives. i was
just commenting that it looks more sturdily built than a seagate U8. but i
have only used maxtor, quantum, and seagate.
