nope, u mis-understood me, the issue is also with me :- sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb |grep dma
DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 as you can see I am stuck at udma2 & cannot go upto udma5 hence even my reads are not good. uname -a Linux ubuntu 2.6.20-14-generic #2 SMP Mon Apr 2 20:37:49 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux sudo hdparm -c 1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 1 HDIO_SET_32BIT failed: Invalid argument IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 448 MB in 2.00 seconds = 223.66 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 54 MB in 3.02 seconds = 17.90 MB/sec lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 03) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 82) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 03:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) 03:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
