Legacy performance! The good ole days! This is a 345 MB IDE disk from 1993...

HD Tach

Yes, DMA is enabled in device mgr. This drive is probably so old it only supports programmed i/o anyways...

ATTO

ATTO took nearly 15 minutes to run on this paperweight! 🙂

Cheers!
 
1MB/s transfer rates, 50% CPU utilization. That is horrible. I had a 200MB turd, I always thought that thing seemed abnormally slow. I know people that download faster than 1MB/s from certain servers. Haha.
 
In 1993 I had a 14.4 kbps modem and connected to most BBS' at 2400! The drive bottleneck was never really an issue back then. The price of hardware was pretty absurd as well in comparison to today. Just imagine 8 years from now!

Cheers!
