here's that disk with a more traditional (and believable) benchmark,
bonnie (dual cel/550 BP6, 128M ram, 2.3.99-pre9-1, HPT, udma66):

      -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
      -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks---
   MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU /sec %CPU

as usual, ignore the per-char and %cpu columns, since the first is
just measuring libc and the latter is overestimated by about 8x.

I have no idea what the point of parallel hdparm's is.
