I've got Vista Ultimate running on a SATA II 3gb/s Seagate 320gb 7200.10 drive with 16 megs of cache. This is my first SATA drive, so maybe I'm just confused, but when I right click the drive in Device Manager, and do a read speed test, I consistently get about 55mb/s.
Is this consistent with other's results, or is there something I'm missing here? I know that the theoretical limit is 3gb/s, but still, 50 seems awfully slow. I know for a fact that SATA II is enable, Vista is saying so on the test menu.
