I'm not even getting THAT...at least not on my EIDE drive
('course it's one that's been around a couple years, so
it's not optimized for UDMA...only an 850 meg drive <G>)
Now, just for giggles, I"m gonna see what I get on my UW
SCSI drive...
IDE:
[root@slave1 /root]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.18 seconds = 40.25 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 36.08 seconds = 1.77 MB/sec
SCSI:
Same exact specs....must be my motherboard can't handle
anything faster. :-/ Heh, course I'm only using a dual-PPro
system here... :-)
