I'm with Jared, Mladen.  I fail to see how the 10K seek times could =
possibly be the same as the 15K.  Am I missing something or does not a =
faster spindle on the same size, number, and density of platter provide =
a faster seek?

I've been playing with some Hitachi 10k drives=20
(Hitachi 146/10 IC35L146F2DY10) that have an avg
seek time of 5 ms.  The 15k drives are 3 ms.
