Here's a comparison between my Seagate 250 GB and 320 GB...


ST3250310AS 3.AAC

Tested on 2008-02-12 at 20:47

Random access: 15.1 ms

CPU utilization: 2% (+/- 2%)

Average read: 89.2 MB/s

Burst Speed: 247.2 MB/s

ST3320620AS 3.AAK

Tested on 2008-02-12 at 20:50

Random access: 14.1 ms

CPU utilization: 0% (+/- 2%)

Average read: 66.7 MB/s

Burst Speed: 224.3 MB/s

Lower is better For CPU and random access.

Higher is better For average read.

MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes per second.

GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes.

Seagate 7200.10 SATA . Sempron LE 1100/ geforce 6100/nforce 405 chipset



Hitachi SATA . Athlon X2 4000+ / AMD 690G /SB 600 chipset



Seagate 7200.9 IDE. Sempron LE 1100/ geforce 6100/nforce 405 chipset



any idea why the Hitachi drive has a higher burst speed :ashamed: does the processor have such a big impact ?

It seems that most of the Seagate drives are slower than the corresponding Western Digital. I am thinking about the real life performance not the Burst speed.

Hi

Do you have AHCI activated? AHCI gives lower Burst speeds. I think though that your Random Access speed is somehow high.
