Looks like the Seagate LP ST32000542AS 5900 clocks in at Read 116MB/s and Write 110MB/s for 1GB Extended Tests (special version of Quickbench I think) on a Mac Pro. Hopefully I'm taking the similar numbers off their findings correctly, maybe not ... Different environments for testing for sure.

2TB SATAs on Seritek for my Quicksilver Dual 1GHz
Currently have good success with a 1TB Seagate SATA and a Firmtek Seritek 1S2 SATA Controller on my Digital Audio Dual 533 OS X 10.5.8. Anyone have experience with the so-called energy efficient "LP" Seagate? http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/ST32000542AS/ Its 2TBs but shows as a 5900rpm drive. My other SATAs are 7200rpm. Since the SATA drives are so fast, would I notice the drop in rotational speed using for video capture work on my Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz under OS X 10.5.8? I feel yes, but wonder if anyone has used it. Trying to justify putting another $200 (SATA controller + 2TB HD) or so in my QS ...
