Check out my interesting timings:
/dev/hda:
multcount= 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq= 1 (on)
using_dma= 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead= 0 (off)
geometry = 1232/255/63, sectors =
just because the drive has higher rpms does not mean its faster, drive
technology (esp data density) has a major impact on performance, if the
5400rpm drive can store more data in less physical area it will perform
faster then the 7200rpm. ive seen benchmarks that showed more modern 5400
drives
Just throwing in my timings:
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.11 seconds = 12.52 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.27 seconds = 12.14 MB/sec
/dev/hda:
multcount= 0 (off)
I/O support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq= 0 (off)
using_dma= 1

P200MMX, Triton 430TX, IIRC (ASUS TX97-E). It seems like it must be the
machine (motherboard). Surely UDMA2 (33MB/sec) 7200 RPM should be faster
than the

If I turn off using_dma, my 9.4 drops down to 5.2. None of the other
switches make much difference except this one.

The reason why my dma is turned off is because there's no official Ali

Even if your drive can do UDMA33, it is only useful for transfers from
the drive's cache, since only they can reach that high transfer speed,
so that's where speed-ups come from, also this puts less strain on
your CPU.

I added a Maxtor 27GB 7200rpm ATA66 drive to my P200MMX when I upgraded to

My motherboard (ASUS TX97-E) only supports udma mode 2 (33MB/sec), but I
find that this drive and my old WD 4GB (no UDMA) both show the same speed
of about 9.4MB/sec with hdparm -t. Even if the
