Hi, I'm looking at my hard drives performance. It's a western digital 5400 rpm with a cache of 512. It's configured to run UDMA66.
hdparm -Tt gives me... Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.36 seconds = 94.12 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 4.98 seconds = 12.85 MB/sec I'm intending to go to a 7200rpm UDMA100 drive with a 2mb cache. Anyone know what sort of performance boost to expect? Cheers, Gord
