    Your english looks very good to me - but I am scottish-lol!.
    have all the issues you were experiencing gone with using the seagates-?
    Some of the point u have raised are of interest. I have slow copy on large files but that is a known vista x64 problem . I also see dips when I run HD tune and hd tach but put that down to file placement and the fact anti-virus and some other background apps were running. After a defrag and stopping most of them the graph looks a lot better. Overall performance seems good but if I can get a lot better with different drives I might consider a change.
    You should consider raid 0/1 setup using only 2 drives with Matrix storage manager - you can get some crazy performance increases. Check out this thread - http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=467848. I tried this out as I have nothing else to do - its good fun. I also bought Acronis true image home 11 to do backup/restores to cover me for when the raid 0 fails -which it will at some point! Great software - I recommend it.
