I have a Sonnet SATA card in a 9600 along with an SSD from OWC. In a real world test, I got about 10MB/sec transfer rate going from one directory on the SSD into another. That doesn't seem like it's going as fast as it should so I decided to test the hard drive and came up with this result:

That looks much better, but still, I thought a real world test would be faster than 10MB/sec. More importantly, that SCSI HD seems way slow for what it is. That's a 15k RPM Cheetah drive so I thought I'd have a bit better speed than that. I was thinking close to 10MB/sec or something as the SCSI bus would allows for. Is something wrong with my HD?
