Deskstar 75GXP wins PCPro award: Fourth in a row for IBM

[YMAN]

I still think the seek time is high for a 7200!
You mean you still did not rma it or something?

[Kingslayer]

I'd put mine up, but you'd just cry.

Gotta love IDE RAID.

[Samzik]

i use my raid for ata 100 and i did have seek time 9 msec but some is wrong i want to know what is the benches with same kind drives. to find where is my problem located or if my drive is ded man post me ur benches plz :p

[Samzik]

wtf nobody uses hd tach 2 test theyr hdd its really important 2 me 2 know other results cos i think im running little low on this bench mark :(

btw i cant rma it befor i get rich werry rich :D oki oki i cant cos im leyzy and i dont own eny other hdd so i have 2 use this one

[KILLorBE]

IBM GXP60 40Gb.

[Samzik]

i thought it has 2 be around 100mb (or is it burst speed wich has 2 be 100 ?) :O
thanx 4 ur post man :D

so u have 60GXP : (stragight from ibm) (http://www.storage.ibm.com/hdd/desk/ds60gxp.htm)

this is my 2 maxtor 40gb ata-100 drives in a raid-0 on winXP

If you are certain that you're ATA-100 IDE channel is running correctly, the drive is jumpered as Master or Slave correctly, are running the HDD on a tested-good ATA/66/100 ribbon, the drive was freshly Scandisked and Defragged before running HDTach 2.61, have turned off unnecessary background and Tray apps before running the BM, and disabled the CD-Rom's Auto-Insert Notification feature in Device Manager before running HDTach 2.61, you have a bad drive. The values you report are not correct for a 75 GXP that's running as it should.

The values in your first post on this thread are very close to what HDTach should report. With the addition of a 78-80 Mbps Burst Speed.

[Monaco]

see, this is why I don't trust hard-drive benchmarks. On my ATA66, 5400rpm 12gig drive, I get a seek time of 12ms, and burst speeds of 70mb/sec according to HDTach. With 3.1% CPU usage.

On a 2 year old drive that was cheap when new. Riiiight.....

Those scores beat quite a few RAID setups I've seen. They just can't be right!

Maybe it's just me-look at what Sandra has to say about my drive- see if you can spot the mistake! At least I assume it's a mistake, my drive never seemed all that fast to me:

[klosters64a]

Sandra is a great BM program. However, its HDD BM's are not to be taken seriously, at all.

[Genoide]

Killorbe u sound like the guy from Flower For Algenon... you write just like him.

[Monaco]

klosters64a= apparently, HDTach ain't so great either. The numbers it gives me just plain can't be right, no doubt about it. But nothing is as worthless as a Sandra HD BM:)

Are there any reliable HD benchmarks out there? Something intensive?

[Samzik]

lol u cant trust anything if U don't know how 2 tweak and how 2 disable ur backround and other features, which may hold ur HDD bizy. I wana know what is max I checked the IBM and I know 37 mb read speed is max 4 my drive only there is the burst speed
is it inside writing speed 2 copy from one HDD point to another it should be 100mb yes or wtf, and wtf is ata 100 then it makes me confuse why thaey make ata 133 when yhe use 37 mb of 100 mb ? one thing i know if u dont have correct drivers u cant do **** this is same hdd rubed in winxp the 1st post i sent was rund in me and why the hec hd tach shows me i have 30gig tx40 drive ???
and i opend taskbar and chekd if anything takes cpu time none did 99 idel ! then i ran hd tac it took 98-99 % hmm thats good if it gates all the time 2 it self so there aint no aplications runing backround right ?

i send 1 more post where my drive is atached 2 my mobo i c what are my results then :D i think the acsess time wil be at least normal 8, ... msec

[Samzik]

so here is my hd tach with xp and hdd is attached 2 mobo btw mobo is ata 66 and raid i use is ata 100 wtf is this what's wrong ppz my head hurts allready

[Jon]

I use ATTO.

It's actually a SCSI benchmark program but works great for IDE drives.

Get it below.

[Samzik]

so i used the other program :( wtf i cant understand a thigie about what it shows 2 me

[Samzik]

damn what this shows 2 me gime gime ur bences i love to c what ppz get with hd tach
thi is what i get with Attachment: attodiskbench

[Monaco]

here's my ATTO results! test was run on:

celeron 566@995
SOYO 6VBA133
10.2 GB Wested Digital HD, 5400RPm and ATA66
256 MB RAM, if it matters.

HD is master of channel 1, there is a CD as slave on same channel, and both have DMA enabled <whew!>

keep in mind I used a 32 MB test array, so the scores look pretty low.

[Samzik]

i dont get this wtf this bench shows ? i have 34 mb ? max and u have 4mb ?

[Ridenow]

HD tach will not run under W2K server :(
I will try the one Jon posted, I had not heard of it.

I am with Kingslayer, you guys would just cry. It would be an IDE RAID or a SCSI 160 drive. I have been wanting to see which of the 2 is faster. :p

[Monaco]

yes thank you our drives suck, we know.

samzik- basically it shows the speed to transfer a matrix of varying sizes and depths, apparently. The data looks weird, but still works- just compare the neat little graphs it gives you. the more data per second in each of those tests, the better. It's weird at first but soon makes more sense. I think it's a really cool program, ATTO is all I use now. thanks again Jon!:D

You are welcome:p

If I remember tonight I will find out how much your drives suck.

[PsycoPhreak]

??? where did mine go?

[PsycoPhreak]

Ok, so i'm like bored with nothing better to do... :p
Heres Mine ( i hope this time) 2 maxtor 30 gig 7200 rpm ata 100 drives in RAID 0 config...

[Samzik]

this is what i need and now comes the hardest in these cases i dont c any mark of ATA 100 i mean comon ATA 100 is soposed to be 100mb sec ? or what it is ? plz eplain it to a stupid guy ! heheee gigle
:D:burn: :eh?:

[Ridenow]

OK, here is the SCSI U160 18GB Fujitsu. I am disapointed with it.

[Ridenow]

And here is the 0+1 RAID with 4 WD400BB drives. Now I know what is faster.

[Monaco]

samzik- yah, ATA is supposed to mean 100 MB per second transfers. It usually doesn't work out to be that fast in real life tho.

[Samzik]

how come i got almost as faast as scasi 30 mb trancfare and others get 9 mb ? this doesnt make me any sence whats wrong with the world tonigh i have ata 100 ibm as u can read from my specs. ? im so confused now i beter leav my comp intrest into dumbster giggle ! ;) thanx for the posts ppz ceep on posting "the trough is out there" damn how is it spelled duno :(

[Monaco]

try it again, but for ATTO adjust the transfer array size to match whoever you are trying to compare to. The different array sizes give wildly different results.

[Samzik]

i c

[Samzik]

i got this sucker almost running
this is ata 100 controller udma 5 perfomance with ibm dtla gxp 75 30 gig i mean with my drive ! but i get low brust and msecs depend of the test are usually 9.5-9.4 i hope i get up with jpg soon ;)

[Samzik]

ur wqrong with this one i didnt got much diferent results but i found out that problem acured with my drivers so i got burst upto 58 now but its cinda slow still there must be some else be donr i have me right now i dovnloaded high point drivers for my raid

but u have to chech whats wrong with your drive monsta the 4 mb trancfare is cinda slow to me !

sorry about bitmaps i have new me cant convert em righ now have no time top inst software but i do it somtime for convinance ! dont be mad at me ;)

[Monaco]

well, no, you aren't going to see true ATA100 on current equip- the same thing happened when ATA66 came out; the equip had a MAX of 66MB/sec but rarely got there. Now, with ATA100 here, drives do sometimes truely get ATA66 speeds. Perhaps by the time ATA133 hits, all the ATA100 drives will run at 100MB/sec? :)

well, I don't know what the deal is with your scores- now that I look back over this thread, it seems your drive is waaaaay slower than it should be. You do have DMA transfers enabled, right? And, have you installed the latest 4-in-1 drivers from VIA for your motherboard?

[Samzik]

in last post i have via 4in1 and raid controller driver so its allmost as high as i can goor theres some thing i havnt noticed or my drive is dieng.
