Forget Coretest and other low level test results regarding disk i/o 
rates.  The best transfer rate benchmark is going to be a copy from 
the block device to /dev/null with the version of Unix you are going 
to use.  

Make sure you have an unfragmented disk if you expect actual use to come
close to this figure.
