Default Harddisk speed..

LOL..
I just installed a new harddisk, after having the old one since 2001, a 30 gig 5400 rpm..

When I got the new harddisk up and running, I took a benchmark of it: about 29MB/s..
Then, to compare, I benchmarked the old one: 4 MB/s

I'm just like.. why have I used it for so long??

A question, how much of the speed of the harddisk is destroyed after usage? And is windows running slower because of a slow harddisk?
