I just downloaded and ran the Blackmagic DiskSpeed test on my 2011 iMac Mini (2.5GHz i5) with stock 5400 RPM drive and compared it to a 2TB drive in a FW800 enclosure (Deskstar 5k3000) as well as a 1TB drive in a USB2 case. Results seem disappointing for the stock HDD. Appreciate your thoughts.

Stock HDD 65 65
FW 800 68 83
USB2 30 35
For those with an SSD, can you run the tests and report your numbers? Also, those who upgraded to a 7200 drive (or have the server version), please add yours as well.
Thanks!
