Ok, I gotta ask because my HD scores (according to PCmark) are way fucked (especially in comparison to what others are getting), which sux because the rest of my system is pretty phat! I'm not so much worried about the b'mark as I am about the potential for increasing my performance in games :) I don't expect SCSI/SATA like performance outta my HD's...but JESUS...I am currently sucking a big fat one!

Anyway...heres my compare link

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm=1357610

I am currently running a:
20GB Maxtor 7200rpm
40GB Maxtor 7200rpm

Anyone got any ideas???

you could try disabling SMART, that gave me 100points increase


but i turned SMART back on because i don't want to lose my data
