Are these read times normal?


i installed intel x-25m g2 last week , updated latest firmware. feels great , snappy. however, x-bench results sub-par. i'm consistently getting random read of 175 mb/sec opposed advertised 250. read couple threads , else getting >200 mb/sec. thoughts? did lemon?
 

i didn't update firmware on 160gb g2 , sequential read 10 programs running 200mb/s, 180mb/s random. still feels insanely fast next old hdd, , figure i'll update firmware next year when usual reformat.

intel not known being fastest benchmark, reliable , consistent, no strange slowdowns regardless of drive state.
