I just finished installing Slackware 9.1 on my computer. The current problem I am having is that when I try to transfer data from hda( my main drive ) to any one of my other drives it goes at 2-3 meg/sec max, and should be going faster than that because its a Western Digital 80GB 7200 RPM drive. Here are the hdparm -tT results and the dmesg outputs from my system.
HDPARM
hdparm -tT /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.47 seconds =272.34 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.61 seconds = 39.75 MB/sec
