Just benched my new IBM 120gxp!!

I took a screenie of the bench I just did with HD Tach 2.62. Check out the bar they give you now. Instead of ending at 80, it goes on!

Hmm, looks like the drive can do almost 50mb/s transfer. Not bad, WD1200BB has an opponent now! And so do the Maxtor ATA133 drives 🙂
 


<< TCD labs doesn't have version 2.62 even listed on their web page >>



That, and I'm not paying 50 bucks to use it on 2K/XP. (there is no specific XP support, either)
 
salt, you have to realize that is a freaky high burst rate for a single HD.Well Ide that is.
 
For measurement of actual bus speed transfer from a hard disk's buffer, I recommend this little program. I recommend people with different chipsets and controllers to try it and see what your actual bandwidth is.

As asked before, where did you find 2.62?

Cheers!
 
I think it is the new BETA floating around. Anyone can to run HDTach on a 1000JB or 1200JB?
 
The transfer rates seem to get pretty bad as more of the drive gets used. I know this is normal, but the delta between max and min transfer rates on this drive seems high. None the less, it looks like a good drive to me. The 60GXP is still a competitor in real world tests.
 
Saltedeggman's right. When I benchmark a 60GXP on my AMD box my burst is low 70's. When I take out that drive and set it up in a P4/Intel mobo system I get low 90's. Same drive, same OS, same 18" ATA100 cable, different chip/mobo combo.
