Never mind... using /sbin/hdparm...

[root at box1 admin]# /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   3824 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1912.19 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  176 MB in  3.01 seconds =  58.52 MB/sec
[root at box1 admin]# /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
 Timing cached reads:   3688 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1843.46 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  196 MB in  3.01 seconds =  65.12 MB/sec
[root at box1 admin]# /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sdc

/dev/sdc:
 Timing cached reads:   3684 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1842.33 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  148 MB in  3.86 seconds =  38.37 MB/sec
[root at box1 admin]# /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/sdd

I'm using laptop drives in my box... lowly 5400 RPM 2.5" 320 GB drives...
