Yes you read those HDD numbers correctly. It looks like SiS has done an excellent job with its SIS 965 Southbridge!

The nForce4 chipset is already pretty good at the HDD benchmark, but the SiS 956 blows it away in terms of performance. It's nice to see that SiS did not neglect this part of computing.
