I do:

7.1 on pci0
=2E..
ad0: 39205MB <Maxtor 6E040L0> [79656/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100

Mind you this server is active as mail/www/gateway so the numbers are to =

be taken with a bit of salt, and that Maxtor disk is probably the=20
slowest disk they make at all these days, anyhow the numbers above fits=20
the specs pretty close...
