Dunno, just tried this on my box which has a 5400 RPM disk in and got
[root@smeg lpackham]# /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/hdc
7200RPM on the on board /dev/hdc: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.94 seconds = 16.24 MB/sec [root@smeg lpackham]# /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/hdg
7200RPM on a promise Ultra ATA 66 /dev/hdg: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.02 seconds = 21.19 MB/sec [root@smeg lpackham]# /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/hda
5400RPM on the on board /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.23 seconds = 15.13 MB/sec
