Hello,
I have been struggling with my inspiron 6400 and its TOSHIBA MK8032GSX (80 Gb, 5400 rpm) to get the highest possible speed in my hard drive. That's because of Oblivion: I am trying to avoid stuttering while the game loads new textures as I walk around ( specially outdoors, when new buildings appear ). So far I'm using small textures (which are faster to load), but it looks terrible. So I am trying to optimize it to change to Medium textures.
I ran HDtune 2.52 and these are the numbers:

Can you please run HDtune and post your results? It doesn't matter whether you have the same hard drive or not, I just want to compare ( but those of you with the same laptop please post it )
Anyway I would like to know what could I do to improve my HDD transfer rate. I defragment my HD everyday and I've set to Performance in the BIOS the HD Acoustic Management.
Anyone there with the same problem in Oblivion?
All ideas and opinions are welcome!
