Well, I figured that since I have 2 1TB Samsung F1 drives on an early 2008 MP, I had better do my part and post xbench stats as well.

I run OS X & Apps on one of my 1TB drives, Boot Camp (Vista x-64) on the other 1TB Samsung, an old WD 500GB for Time Machine, and stock 320GB holds my VMware Fusion images.

Here's mine:

4 x 1TB Seagate ES2 in RAID 5. Now I wonder what the scores would be using all 4 in RAID 0 on the Apple card!?!?

I'm going to add an xbench on my stock 320GB just for grins...

3 x 750GB F1 in RAID 0

Finally got my MP! Here's my contribution before I start moving files over from my iMac.

I wonder why all these newer, larger drives seem to be getting lower Sequential Uncached Read 4K block scores. That stock 320 got 27 MB/s and my G5 Quad's stock 250GB drive (nearly full) gets 33 MB/s. Judging from people's overall impressions, though, I'd guess that particular statistic doesn't matter too much in real-world usage.

Me, I've been drooling over anyone's benchmark that got more than 1MB/s in random uncached 4K read...
