I just ran the DiskTimer II V1.0 on my Mac II with the internal 40 megabyte
disk drive.  The numbers are:

Data transfer, 100 24KB reads:     36
Data transfer, 100 24KB writes:    42
Access time, 80 seeks across 1MB:  21

Times are in deciseconds, but as I don't have the other times in front of
me, I don't know how this stacks up (although subjectively, it's VERY
fast).

Hope you find this interesting.

Jeff Harrow

PS:  The drive is a "Quantum".
