Are you sure it's something to get jealous over? I'm pretty sure I have a 5400rpm 20GB drive (by Fujitsu). Look at my stats after I enabled DMA and (some other kernel options I don't have at the tip of my finger right now): # hdparm -Tt /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.82 seconds =156.10 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.99 seconds = 21.40 MB/sec I've seen a discussion here some whiles back about a guy who got 33MB+/sec.
