Data Tests

- SCSI Mechanic v3.0x results

Drive	Average Same Sector I/O (Kbytes/sec)	Average Sequential I/O (Kbytes/sec)	Average Random I/O (Kbytes/sec)
Lite-On LXR-24101A	5660	4428	840

The average Sequential I/O reading result is good for Lite-On LXR-24101A. In the Same Sector reading test, the drive gave an 840 Kbytes/sec result, which is not low but it could be improved.
