I bought myself a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 500-GB. Before the cloning process took place, I tested it with crystaldiskmark and it runs 120-130MB/s read and write, after cloning using acronis trueimage, the read speed went down a little, but its not my main concern, on the other hand the write speed decreases to 20MB/s, give or add. Only used 120gigs, my anime folder took up 80gig of the space and rest are games and movies. I defragged the harddrive twice before doing the tests. As of right now, i don't have any spare or extra hdd so i can't backup the files and format the whole drive to do the tests again, so please don't recommend me to do that.
my specs are :
* MSI p7n sli
* E6550 @ 2.8ghz
* XFX Radeon 4870
* Corsair 2x2gig xm2 800mhz
* Corsair 650tx
running windows xp sp3 btw
