Hi,
for hdparm -Tt i get:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.64 seconds = 78.05 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.23 seconds = 12.24 MB/sec
i agree it isnt that bad for the old ata in the beige G3. but i am
think of
getting a acard or something;)
cheers

i installed a new ata 100 7200 RPM Seagate barracuda in my
beige G3/266 (using the internal ide, setting new drive to master,
removed old). running debian woody tesing.
i tweaked the dma settings allready with hdparm (-d1). if running
a hdparm disk test (-t) i get: 64 MB in 5.22 seconds = 12.26 MB/sec
seems a bit slow to me.
Nah. I'd say that's not _too_ bad for such old hardware. Did you try
hdparm -Tt
ie both options? What do you get as buffered speed?
I use a beige G3 at work and I sometimes think it is worse in perceived
speed than my even older 7600/G3-300.
Cheers
Michel
