7200.11 Spped Issues (I think)

[jcrouse]

New build, see sig. I removed the little 150MB limiting jumper before the install and here are my results. They seem quite slow compared to what I expected. Any ideas? You can see that i don't have the BIOS that seemed to have the 8MB/32MB cache issue. I am wondering if I should still flash the drive back to the 14 BIOS.

Thanks,
John

Quick question?
Was this the long test or the short test using HDTach?

[jcrouse]

Long (I think)

It looks like you have run the short bench.
Please run the result again using the Long Bench. Your results look pretty accurate except for access time should be around 12.4.

That is exactly how your drive should look. Perfect! :beer:
