Subject: hdparm and hd performance
Hello,
I have two IBM 75GXP 15.3G harddrives. The IBM website states that this
particular drive can sustain data transfer rates of 37MB/sec. I am
attempting to use hdparm to check my harddrive performance. I get the
following values:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 21.64 seconds = 2.96 MB/sec
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.09 seconds =117.43 MB/sec
I am fairly certain that I am using ATA/66 as that is what my BIOS tells
me.
So, my question is: am I missing something completely obvious or are these
performance values way below the stated specs?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
-Anthony.
