HDTach 3.00 Beta

Specs are in my sig (A64 3200+, 2GB, 74GB Raptor)

Short:

Burst: 119.3
Avg: 64.1

Long:

Burst 124.6
Avg: 64.1
8.0 ms
7% CPU
 
TEST results
(1)WD 74 GB RAptor on SI 3112 SATA RAID controller

Short Test 8mb zone

CPU 8%
7.9ms
AVG 64.7mbps
Burst 126.2mpbs

Long test 32mb zone

Avg 64.0mbps
Burst 126.7mpbs
 
Damn, those results are pretty damn close 😛 I'm using the built in SiS SATA controller.
 
After a few more runs of the short test my CPU jumps around a bit from 0% to 4% and then 7% . Kinda weird with a 0% in there...
 
This beta is buggy:
First my SATA 120 gig Maxtor:
Burst 1,723.0 NOT A TYPO
Random access 13.7
CPU 0
Avg 48.8

Now my 5 disk SCSI raid array with 128 meg cache:
Burst 61.1
Random access 8.9
CPU 0
Avg 20.3

And I ran long and short and multiple times. I don't believe either results. The Burst on the SATA is impossible, and the SCSI is way too slow on all compared to real performance.

Random access 8.9 8.0
CPU 0 2
Avg 20.3 43.1

And I ran long and short and multiple times. I don't believe either results. The Burst on the SATA is impossible, and the SCSI is way too slow on all compared to real performance.
Edit: my spaces don't seem to show up....

I also noticed that when i had more than one copy of the program running that CPU utilization always showed zero.
 
Question: Why, if this is the 3.00 Beta do they keep trying sending me "HDTach-2.9.2.0-Setup.exe" when I click on the link??????????????????????????????????
