SATA II transfer rates

[Thomas Kaiser]

Hello All

I did run hdparam -t on my SATA || harddisk. Is 57.30 MB/sec a good 
transfer rate for a SATA || HD?

# hdparm -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  172 MB in  3.00 seconds =  57.30 MB/sec

If not, how can I tune the transfer rate?

Thanks, Thomas
