Hi, Have you tried running: hdparm -tT /dev/sda (or whatever the device id is)? -Jason Miroslav Maiksnar wrote: Dne ne 4. září 2005 8:20 Jens Vogel napsal(a):Hello Mike, michael@etalon.net wrote:Is there a way to tell if my sata II drives are running at sata II speed? (300 MB/s vs 150 MB/s?)I don't know whether or not there is a way to tell that (maybe with hdparm?). But I don't think this matters much anyway. These days _fast_ harddisks can deliver a sustained data rate of about 60MB/s, maybe with peaks of 80MB/s. So if you want to test the speed of SATA-II you could try to create a RAID0 array with at least 3 fast harddisks and see whether its data rate exeeds about 150MB/s.Well, but even with SATA-I you get 3*150MB/s rate, so you won't discover anything... Try looking at your dmesg, there may be info about SATA speed upon controler detection. Mixi . |
