I don`t have any performance data handy but here's something else. I did have serious problems when I tried installing. After I had partioned them and booted for the second time FreeBSD kept crashing on the fsck of /dev/sd0e. Actually you could hear the spindle motor stop as if somebody had turned to power off. After going nuts over a weekend I finally managed to get the installtion going by manually running newfs and fsck. Perhaps somebody could comment on the reliability of this drive. I am running a newsfeed into a 800MB partition on one of these drives. It's taking quite a hammering when a batch of new articles comes in.
