The last time I ran hdparm on Mandrake 8.0 I was using a different ata100 hard drive and was getting timing buffer disk reads of only 21 MB. I am now using a new IBM hard drive and I'm getting: /dev/hde: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.78 seconds =164.10 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.73 seconds = 36.99 MB/sec Abit KT7A raid, VIA KT133A chipset, IBM IC35L020AVER07-0 20GB hard drive, AMD T-bird 1.2 GHz. I'm surprised at the difference between my 2 hard drives, both using pretty standard installs of Mandrake 8.0. --- skinky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 14 August 2001 09:47, you wrote: > > [root@tuxmachine /]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda > > /dev/hda: > > Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.91 > seconds =140.66 MB/sec > > Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.78 > seconds = 35.96 MB/sec > > > > Using IBM DTLA-307075 7200 rpm and Asus mobo with > i815 chipset. > > (But using kernel 2.4.3-20mdk). > > > > My hd is so much slower than yours! > Using 60GB IBM DTLA-307060 7200rpm and Soltek > SL-75KAV mobo with North > Bridge VIA VT8363A (KT133A) chipset (and South > Bridge VIA VT82C686B?) on > AMD T-Bird 1.0GHz. > > Using kernel 2.4.3-20mdk with udma2 (ATA-33 ?): > > root@localhost skinky]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda > > /dev/hda: > Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.78 > seconds =164.10 MB/sec > Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.14 seconds > = 20.38 MB/sec > [root@localhost skinky]# hdparm -tT /dev/hda > > /dev/hda: > Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.77 > seconds =166.23 MB/sec > Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 3.18 seconds > = 20.13 MB/sec > > Big difference! > > Cheers > skinky > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > > Go to http://wwww.mandrakestore.com > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
