slow drives?

[kvdv]

Hi, I wanted to make sure my new Lacie usb disk was performing like it
should so I ran HD Tach.
The results are somewhat surprising. Shouldn't the internal drives (or at
least the SATA drive) be any faster ?

internal SATA 250gb : 35 mb/s
internal ata 250gb: 35 mb/s
external usb2.0 lacie 250gb : 25mb/s

I've got a Soltek KT600 mobo with an Athlon XP 2500+ and 1GB of RAM.

thanks,
Kris

These sopeeds are fine. Why do you think they should be higher?
