This seems more like the SATA-II interface speed of ~300MB/s...
Though the same one reported a read speed of about 900+ MB per second for my USB drive (not really possible, since the maximum speed for USB 2.0 is about 480 MB / second).
Yeah, bogus. And remember that 480 is megabits/sec (Mb/s)...actually more like 60MiB/s maximum throughput (although I have yet to get more than 29MiB/s from any USB drive).
This is very frustrating. At first the drive was quite fast, under windows and now it is extremely slow... I asked about this in a windows xp pro group, and so far no one is touching it.
Well I would first poke around in the device manager for the SATA interface and make sure it is not in PIO mode. Then check the property pages of the disk and make sure that write caching is enabled. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
