Download this utility.

Run this and post your results. Please use default size of 1000MB with 6 iterations for default comparisons.

With all the different configurations out there, it would be worthy to see a list of the scores. This utility produces faithful results that are self explanatory.

Cheers!
 
What's your score, anyhow?

Is that the same benchmark from vanshardware, where it shows an Athlon 2000+ beating a Pentium 4 2.53Ghz by like 100%? And the same benchmark where it shows a celeron 2Ghz beating the same Pentium 4 2.53 Ghz system? It was from like a year or so back.
 
Cool! A new HD benchmark! Thanks, Shuttleteam.

Don't know how accurate this program is, but at least it's a new "standard yardstick" if you will. 🙂 Here's mine (I did both sets of drives in my main rig 😀)

OK, something has to be wrong with my setup, cause every benchmark I run does strange things, and shows my diska as slow, even though they "feel" fast
First my 80 gig maxtor IDE:

Now comes the killer: 4 18 gig 10k rpm SCSI in raid 0 on an Adaptec 2100s controller with 128 meg cache:

WTF ??? Does mixing two different types of drives kill the array that bad ???? I have two Seagate ST118202LW , and two Seagate ST318404LW.

Any ideas ???? BTW, ATTO, if I disable direct access, has write speeds at 20k, and read times at 800k (the 128 meg cache I'm sure)

Adaptec cards are horrible performers. This test shows this well. It is a test for storage systems. Processors and memory have little affect on results when you use the default settings of 1000MB/6i.

You do want identical drives when running raid-0.

Most definitely. As a matter of fact, you also want firmware revisions to match as well. I make sure drives are purchased at the same time so revisions/pcb/dcm/etc are identical.

Cheers!

Well that just SUCKS! :disgust: What's up with this crap? How can drive to drive, same drive, score a lot worse than a single drive? 😕

Yeah, yours should waste mine!
 
Yes I should mention that defaults use the same drive for target and source.

Obviously, if you're using sep disks (for example using a different physical drive for Adobe Photoshop scratch disk) then it may be more "real world" to change these settings accordingly.

Cheers!
