SATA performance
I have a SATA ICH5 on a i865 chipset i think .... anyway, that doesnt matter, the drive works out of the box and so that is cool
anyway, i decided to get do some hdparm -Tt tests, and I was wondering if there was a way to tune the SATAs like you can with IDEs.
here are my results:
hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 4120 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2060.31 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 174 MB in 3.01 seconds = 57.72 MB/sec
any insight into this would be nice.
