HD Tach 2.61 results with SCSI IBM DDYS-T36950N

[kendogg]

Im running an Adaptec 29160 U160 card along with a IBM 36GB LVD drive. This is actually the first time ive operated under a scsi environment.. Performance hasnt seemed to woe me at all.. which brings me to the benchmark results.. HERE (stupid ofoto degrades the quality of the picture)

Random Access Time - 8.8ms

Read speed - maximum 36370.0kps, minimum 2739.0kps, average 28018.8kps

cpu utilization: 2.6%

Now the question is are these results on track with the hardware I am running?

Please advise

that looks about right for the 36lzx.

The benchmark seems to be fine for your drive but I realise that you use WinXP so you should check out this thread.

To let you know I tried the dynamic disk thing and even though my benches rose I didn't see any increased real world performance until I moved back to Win2000.

Sounds like another reason not to upgrade to XP.

well i guess im just gonna have to wait it out a bit longer... supposedly XP SP1 is due for release in August or September 2002 which contains the fix for hd performance

That 'fix' didn't help for the people who tried it.
