    Yes. About 25 MB/sec worth. The old ones have better access times though...I really do hope that has something to do with AAM being enabled, and me not being able to change it.

    I have 2 of each, for a total of 4 320gb WD3200AAKS's. I've tried RAID 0 performance via. ICH9R, and single drive performance.

    Old 2 platter versions (single vs. RAID 0):



    Single Platter (one drive only...i didn't save RAID 0 benches?):
