Bingo! I have the same drive and did the exact same things. I was getting 275 read 250 writes. But as I kept benchmarking BEFORE I READ THE OCZ FORUMS on NOT to do repetitive benchmarking without at least letting the drive maintain itself over the course of a few weeks before testing again.
My laptop boots in around a minute, does having several programs start on start up affect boot times? I mean I have compiz, cairo-dock, empathy, gnomenu, and some desktop widgets. Does that slow down boot up times?
How is everyone doing with 11.04? Boot times in particular.

Hi all,
sorry to drag this thread back up, but I'm need of a Ubuntu Forums favour
In this PC at the moment, I have three drives. An old 80gb, 500gb and my new 1tb (about a year old), I ran sudo hdparm -t on all three with the following results:
Sda - 1tb - 388 MB in 3.01 seconds = 128.78 MB/sec
Sdb - 80gb - 210 MB in 3.01 seconds = 69.77 MB/sec
sdc - 500gb - 270 MB in 3.01 seconds = 89.69 MB/sec
We have Dell Optiplex 790's in work with SSD's in them, I booted crunchbang from usb live cd and ran the hdparm command on the ssd and it came back with 475 mb/sec.
Now, does anyone have a OCZ 60GB Agility 3 ssd? If yes, can you run the hdparm command please?
Everyone else, what speeds are you getting from your newer drives?
I'm very tempted to purchase a ssd for this new machine, I want some proof in the hdparm speeds that I'm going to see a big difference.
Thanks all, can't wait to see the results. I can almost hear my credit card crying in pain.
