My system has the following components:
Asus A7V133 w/1007 bios
Duron 800@1000
IBM Desk DeskStar 75GPX 46 Gig 7200RPM ATA 100
HDTACH Results
Read Burst Speed 60.7mgps
Random Access Time 12.8ms
Average Read Speed 29247.8kps
Maxtor DiamondMax 52049U4 20 Gig 7200RPM ATA 66
HDTACH Results
Read Burst SPeed 45.36mbps
Random Access Time 13.8ms
Average Read Speed 25078.9kps
I am running Windows 2000 Pro /w SP2
Via 4-in-1 4.31 Final
Promise Ultra 100TM IDE Controller Driver v1.60 (Build 33)
The IBM hard drive is set as Master on the Primary ATA 100 connector and
the Maxtor is set up as Master on the Secondary ATA 100 connector.
Each disk is the only device on that channel and they are both connected using new
ATA 100 cables.
I have been using a 2.01 Gig Norton Ghost Image file to transfer between the two disks.
Both Disks are formatted as Basic NTFS.
Transfer time from IBM to Maxtor is 117sec
Transfer time from Maxtor to IBM is 160sec
-nothing else running in the background
So according to my calculations
2.01g / 117s = 17.1mbps
and
2.01g / 160s = 12.6mbps
This seems a bit slow to me. Can anyone provide some insight on why the transfer speed it so slow?
Thanks in advance.
