Actually, even the older Seagate Barracuda 9GB 7,200RPM drive is capable of
a SUSTAINED data transfer of better than 10 MB/s thru about 75% of the
drive, and it's minimum rate is 7.5 MB/s at the core of the drive.  Yes, I
have tested this many times, I have several of these drives that I use in
video editing.  I have not used any of the Cheetah drives for video storage
yet, so I can't speak about their performance, but from the specs they
should be capable of >10 MB/s all the way to the core.
