i have the WD raptor 10k 36gb drive and i have a susppicion that i did not set it up correctly in bios for it to have work at full speed allowed by sata.
is there a way to test if it is in fact set up correctly to utilize its full potential?
If your using win7 open task manager and hit performance tab/REsource Monitor/ Disk try moving some large file around and it will tell you the speeds..
also Wd should have some software for hard drive monitoring... all have a look for yeah
