Not bad, just your standard 1tb 7200 Barracuda I just got with a bundle.
I put a jumper on as a precaution, because my mobo does not support the SATA III (6Gbps) speeds. I ASSumed that there'd be maybe a compatibility issue like I had in the past connecting a SATA II (3Gbps) drive to an old FIC AM39L mobo that had only SATA I (1.5Gbps) speed capability. Wouldn't boot.
UPDATE: I tried it without the jumper. Not only are these pretty lousy results, but the whole computer acts like it's trying to run through quicksand. Back it goes.

Ouch.
Your specs indicate that it's your only HD. Was your PC doing any other I/O at the time? Your CPU was relatively active at 15.8%.
I just got this stick. The access time is similar to a SSD. Transfer rate compares to my 128GB stick above.
