hi,
I recently bought a 15gb IBM 75GXP, and an ABIT Hot Rod 100 Pro (ATA/100 RAID controller) for my system.
im not running it in RAID mode at the moment BTW.
I've heard in a lot of places this is one of the fastest (IDE) hard disks on the market, yet the performance I am receiving is pretty poor.
I ran SiSoft Sandra Pro's disk benchmarker to prove my point, heres the results...
Drive Index - 8665
Buffered Read - 259MB/s
Sequential Read - 10MB/s
Random Read - 1153kB/s
Buffered Write - 287MB/s
Sequential Write - 20MB/s
Random Write - 8MB/s
Average Access Time - 50ms (ack!!)
I've got my the 75GXP set at UDMA5 in the controller bios, ive made sure that the hard drive actaully IS a 75GXP (checked all model numbers) and that the controller is ATA100.
any help with this would be appreicated
oh yeah, the rest of my system is as follows:
MSI 6163PRO (its BX)
P3 733-EB
128mb 133 ram
Xitel Storm platinum (thats a Vortex 2)
Acer NetCard PCI Fast Ethernet (can go 10mbps as well obviously)
