For what it is worth, here is a measurement done on a 5501 running Gentoo Linux:
leopold ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 390 MB in 2.01 seconds = 194.14 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 34 MB in 3.14 seconds = 10.82 MB/sec leopold ~ # hdparm -tT /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: Timing cached reads: 388 MB in 2.00 seconds = 194.03 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 72 MB in 3.05 seconds = 23.60 MB/sec leopold ~ # hda is a 8 GB SanDisk Ultra II. It is spec'ed to 10 MB/s on the package. hdb is a 80 GB Seagate SATA disk. 73, Bent _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
