Velociraptor 150 slow performance

[ModBoyzz]

Hey guys,

Just installed a Velociraptor 150 and can't figure out why my burst speeds are low, access time is high, STR should be higher as well.

I have it shortstroked @ a 56 gig partition. I should be somewhere around 5.5 - 6 as far as Access time.

ABIT IP35 PRO / ICH9
Chipset drivers installed
Unable to install the Intel Matrix Storage manager (not sure if this would make a difference).

Write cache is enabled.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Ok this is weird, HDTACH is showing completely different results.

Why are they so different?
