You should
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.81 seconds =158.02 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 2.88 seconds = 22.22 MB/sec
that's an IDE ata/33 drive plugged into a cheap BX board ;p
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 1 (on)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 128 (on)
