Normal speed for SATA II

[Oleg]

I have 320GB Hitachi HDP725032GLA360 HD and i am getting 75mb/s is it normal speed or is it too low?

About right.
ps it is not related with the speed of SATA II.

That's a good speed....the newer 500 - 1,000gb drives are averaging 85mb/sec.

naaa, both my Hitachi and Samsung 1TB drives get about 114MB/s max, 92MB/s sustained.
If you get drives with 512GB platters instead of 320GB, they are faster again.
