I'm with Jared, Mladen. I fail to see how the 10K seek times could = possibly be the same as the 15K. Am I missing something or does not a = faster spindle on the same size, number, and density of platter provide = a faster seek?

>=20

I've been playing with some Hitachi 10k drives=20 (Hitachi 146/10 IC35L146F2DY10) that have an avg seek time of 5 ms. The 15k drives are 3 ms.
