I picked up one of the 16MB raptors from BB for their special, but it seems to be giving me some less than spectacular performance.

HD tach showed this.

The blue bar when windows boots up goes through about 4-5 times, which is a LOT longer than I thought it would take.

Is this typical of a raptor?

Slightly lower STR but better seek times. What controller are you using it on?

The picture seems fine. The windows loading bar is normal at times. You are probably running into the TLER bug.
 
both of those look fine. pretty much what I scored with one drive:

Would disabling NCQ help a bit? I also installed the latest Nvidia drivers...
 
Yes. You may also want to shut off Norton and any other AV/firewall or anything else that may be running.

It appears something is accessing your HD when u ran the test
