Low Sandra SCSI/IDE scores! What's up?

[technogeeky]

I have an ASUS P2B-DS Motherboard with onboard Ultra2Wide SCSI and a 9GB 10,000RPM Cheetah hard disk drive (2nd generation). I also have an IBM 60GXP 40GIG on the built-in UltraDMA/33 controller.

My Sandra score for the SCSI drive is 13800, for the IDE 18757.

Why are these so low? Help!

The SCSI is lower??? 😕

As for the IDE score. That's fast from what I've seen.

I just benched my Quantum Atlas V (7200rpm U160 on an Adaptec 19160) w/ Sandra 2000, and I got 18,658. So if your IDE is better then that. You're doing good. If you've got the SCSI, and IDE scores backwards, then you're still doing good IMO. 🙂

Just got 12397 on my Maxtor 40 gig Diamond Max 40+ (7200 rpm ATA/66) running off my Epox 8K7A ATA/100 controller.


Maybe I should be the one that's concerned. :Q

FWIW, I benched my SCSI RAID 5 and got even worse numbers. I don't think my SCSI setup is really fast, but I don't think it's as slow as Sandra makes it out to be.

I've seen it posted here that Sandra is not reliable for HD benchmarks, and that HDTach is the tool to use. I can't, because it's not free for W2K. 🙁

My GXP60 gets 23,600 on the 686B w/ 4in1 4.31 (newest 4in1's slowed down considerably)
