Actually, 5.9 is pretty good for a HDD. Most are lower--Around 5.4. What is the model number? I wouldn't mind having a couple of those for video/music file storage. If you have a USB thumb drive that's fast, you might look into using one for ReadyBoost. Windows will store most used files on it and speed up access. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Built 2/11/2011

AS mentioned, 5.9 is the most you will see with a mechanical HD.
SATA 3 interface isn't really even needed for them, as they can not even saturate SATA 2 bandwidth much less 3.
Not exactly sure why they make mechanical drives as SATA 3, since the ports are backwards compatable anyway. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build)

Quote: Not exactly sure why they make mechanical drives as SATA 3, since the ports are backwards compatable anyway. That is indeed a good question. I think it is a sales gimmick. Mechanical drives cannot even saturate 50% of Sata2. The best ones do 1Gb/sec. Not sure though how these hybrids feed the channel. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway - 2 laptops and 2 desktops
