27MB/s is reasonable for a 7200rpm ide disk that isn't totaly state of the
art (ie 100GB per platter or something). what were you expecting? That's a
pentium era mainboard is it not?

a similar disk (40GB single platter wester digital 7200rpm) in and amd 64
box I have is:

[root@twin joelja]# hdparm -t /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.05 seconds = 33.43 MB/sec

the sata 80GB per platter disk in the same box is:

[root@twin joelja]# hdparm -t /dev/sda1

/dev/sda1:
Timing buffered disk reads: 150 MB in 3.02 seconds = 49.71 MB/sec
