You do not see any difference because you are using a single SATA drive. =
To get the speed benefit, you need two matched drives in a RAID array. =
Plus, the seek times do not indicate drive speed/throughput. If you had =
a properly configured RAID array, you would notice an increase in how =
fast the large files load. Of course, there are other variables we have =
not even mentioned, such as amount of RAM, type of processor, etc.

Those are my two main drives. As you can see, there is little =
differences in speed between the two.
