In the manuel from promise there is it described that 33 > MHz have bandwith of 133 MByte/s and with 66 MHz 266 MByte/s. 27MB/s is reasonable for a 7200rpm ide disk that isn't totaly state of the art (ie 100GB per platter or something). what were you expecting? That's a pentium era mainboard is it not? a similar disk (40GB single platter wester digital 7200rpm) in and amd 64 box I have is: [root@twin joelja]# hdparm -t /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.05 seconds = 33.43 MB/sec the sata 80GB per platter disk in the same box is: [root@twin joelja]# hdparm -t /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: Timing buffered disk reads: 150 MB in 3.02 seconds = 49.71 MB/sec > Can you help me, how can I get more transfer rates? > > Thanx, EnricoB > ________________________________________________________________ > Verschicken Sie romantische, coole und witzige Bilder per SMS! > Jetzt neu bei WEB.DE FreeMail: http://freemail.web.de/?mc=021193 > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting joelja@darkwing.uoregon.edu GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
