hmm...(scratches chin) your WD500gb is pretty descent, i would run your o/s and software off it due to the lower access time and better burst and ave rates..thats if your not already. thought your cpu usage was high at the time of printing, you need to run it after a fresh boot, the less utilities using the cpu and hdd when testing that specific drive the better sustained results.
for some reason when ever i test with hdtune 3.0 in win7 my cpu usage is -1.0?? dunno why but i still get hdd usage spikes when its benching.
