Hi, > I would like to know which 2,5"-hd-speed is normal > when using "hdparm Tt /dev/hda" to test the speed. There isn't a "normal" speed since every chipset and every hd looks and acts different. With hdparm [-i|-I] and /proc/ide/.. and the dmesg-output you can verify the settings from the hd/chipset. Normaly turning on dma (-d1) on drive and chipset gives the highest throughput gain (if available). See the hdparm manpage and various www to get more information. just google for hdparm. old 110ct (no dma): /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 112 MB in 2.04 seconds = 54.79 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 12 MB in 3.97 seconds = 3.02 MB/se somewhat newer ibm (dma): /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 604 MB in 2.01 seconds = 300.69 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 48 MB in 3.10 seconds = 15.47 MB/ses > Thank you all for answering my question. > > CB. sl ritch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
