about 2000 for my 20gb seagate (5400 rpm, 2mb cache i assume),
but it totally screws up when i try to run it on my 160gb drive (OS drive), really low times for random read, and wont even do the access times bit 😛
 
Heh, I read the Male Escort thread title and when I saw this below it I thought it said "dick speed test" 🙁
 
The test is severely broken. Not only do the results lack repeatability, but my single 160GB drive is rating consistently about double the speed of my 4x200GB RAID10 array, especially in linear read. (This tool says my RAID linear reads are 30MB/s, other test tools tell me the linear read is throttled to 152MB/s by the mobo RAID controller). My favorite result from this test is from running it on a CD -- 0.6856MB/s linear reads, and 0.8124MB/s on random reads; - think about it, how can it be faster on random access than linear?
 
odd results...
all IDE
120 gig 7200rpm seagate ~ 5900
160 gig 7200rpm seagate ~ 5900
200 gig 7200rpm seagate ~ 7800 :Q

Damnit I knew I should have put my OS partition on that 200 gig drive. I have found it is much louder than the other two.
 
Maxtor DiamondMax +9 120Gb 7200rpm 2Mb cache = 5298.
Seagate 7200.7 200Gb 7200rpm 8Mb cache (100Gb per platter model, no NCQ) = 7373.

[Edit] I have an IBM Ultrastar 36Gb 10krpm SCSI drive knocking around, but I need to find an U160 controller card for it first.
 
The crappy Dell POS (point of sale you sickos) stations we have at work pulled a massive 2827.
