Hi all. First off, thanks to those who responded to my previous post. Turning on IRQ and DMA for the hard drive solves the problem.
Now I have yet another slightly off topic disk question. I'm collecting data from somewhere between 12 and 24 sources and I in the data file produced by the collection software, the sources are all interleaved. I need to create separate files, one for each source, and I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of how much performance hit there would be for writing them all out simultaneously rather than one at a time. The original data file could be as large as a few GBytes, and I don't relish the idea of going through it 24 times, one for each source. Any thoughts?
