Do you all think the 1144A is really that fast?  After using both drives for a couple months it seems that it is slower than the conner drives (80 meg), although this is subjective.


Has anybody used both the 1144A and one of the Seagate Swift (15ms) drives?  I am wondering how much of a practical performance difference there is between the two families.
