This command will check the throughput of your hardisk {hd?}:
/sbin/hdparm -Tt /dev/hd?
This command will check if you have DMA enabled at all:
/sbin/hdparm -d /dev/hd?
If you don't have the command, install the "hdparm" package. With (U)DMA
you should get at least 10MB+/sec on a 20GB disk. I'm getting 30MB/sec
on a brain-damaged 60GB disk.
