HD performance testing software

This weekend i bought a firewire enclosure from Compusa at a awesome price. I get it home and find out its a IBM 40GB 120GXP 7200RPM drive attached to a Oxford 911 chipset. I also found that a ATA 66/100/133 cable is not used on the drive. I would like to do some testing to see how well this drive scores with and without the better cable.

So i am in search of a program to test my drives (40 GBmain system, 10GB firewire, 10GB iPod, and 40 GB Firewire). I would prefer to test in X orver 9, but ultimately i would test both.

Please list for me as well as other readers software titles that you would recommend. The more detailed the benchmark is the better.

Thanks

Goto www.versiontracker.com and search for Xbench, it's an OS X benchmarking program that will test your hard drives and your whole system if you'd like.
