ok... tested, with no change at all palimpsest remains at 13 28 23 MB/s read throughput at 17,2ms access time. (hitachi wrote it to be ca. 60MB max and 12ms access)
and hdparm -tT /dev/sda: /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 1782 MB in 2.00 seconds = 891.55 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in 3.02 seconds = 34.44 MB/sec i must say im confused though. the drive connectors look like they are ide (parallel pins) - however thats only for the laptop i still have, which is the older one. palimpsest gives mixed information: it says pata host adapter, the driver is ata_piix but it says "SATA IDE Controller" dmesg clearly says its SATA and there is a sticker on the drive telling it to be SATA. the bios changed to SATA, but has been IDE before (firmware upgrade) ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705106 Title: slow sata hard drives in laptop -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
