After flashing 29160 bios to 3.xx, my HDTach score improved!

[fkloster]

Average transfer up from 38 to 40+! Anyone else?

 

[UT4EVER]

[fkloster]

Dang that was a pain in the but to flash ay? i.e. removing all devices & pure dos mode and stuff...

 

[UT4EVER]

hehe, yeah...long time no use DOS...but it was worth it

No I mean I flashed my Adaptec 29160n U160 scuzzy card. My P4T bios is a breeze to flash though. Right now its @ 1004.

I like how the devices are IDed at startup now!

 

[fkloster]

No problem. I can't believe how much of a pain this was to execute but I'm glad I'm done with it I like the ID system now too.

I want to flash my 29160 but it is such a pain in the arse! When I have time I will do it.

[fkloster]

What version of HDTach. I have the registered version. Don't remember what # will tell you on Monday...

 

[fkloster]

Thats wierd bacillus, after going home and running it a couple of times I got scores all over the place between 36 &amp; 38 average transfer. 5.4 seek. Who knows...

Sure it gives you more info, but it scans all IDs---even the ones you turn off!
