Hey group,
I just bought this drive mentioned in the heading, and I ran "SisSoft
Sandra 2004" and the benchmark only comes back at 18 ms!! Now the transfers
it says are a little over 50 MB/s so I *think* that's pretty good. What has
me puzzled is the average seek time it brings back. Is this drive working
properly and its merely a glitch in Sandra, or is that correct for the file
size sandra is using? I would certainly think it would be better then that
no matter what the test file size was though.
System spec's:
ASUS P4C800 Deluxe
P4 2.8 / 512 (OC'd to 3.08 Ghz) 800 FSB
2X512 matched Dual Channel DDR PC3200
Pioneer DVD 109D DVD Burner
550 Watt true Thermaltake PS
Everything seems to be functioning perfectly and I actually can tell the
hard drive is loading very fast compared to my old system, but as I stated,
the benchmark has me perplexed. I just wanna make sure I get the most out
of my new drive! Would there possibly be something in the BIOS that I
overlooked that could be holding it back, IF its being held back? I set
all the S-ATA per the ASUS book and all seems fine after the 10th check.
Is there another benchmark possibly that gives the seek times in ms's
instead of peak burst rates and the what not?
I'm not a genius at hard drives, but not a rookie either.
TIA,
Doug
