Re: beige G3 optimize disk speed ?

[francke <francke@acidbeats.de>]

Hi,

for hdparm -Tt i get:
/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.64 seconds = 78.05 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  5.23 seconds = 12.24 MB/sec


i agree it isnt that bad for the old ata in the beige G3. but i am  
think of
getting a acard or something;)

cheers
