Well it WAS updated by APK (see 1st page). I'll e-mail him and see if he can send me the formatted list so I can update it if no one else wants to take charge.
 
oh :roll: its on post #17 :p

But I dont think this is a very popular test that ppl want to run as you cant oc your HD's and if you want to do it still, I think it would be better to start a new thread so the list well be in the 1st post ;)

Looks good. What stripe size did you end up using, or did you just go with the default?

FYI, those extreme dips in there are from disk activity, sometimes dumping the pagefiles, etc. Try running the test after a fresh reboot and without any other programs running in the background.

If that's a single drive that's pretty darn good.
 
yeah, thats a single drive, no raid......from what i've bee seeing, i wish i had $60 as i would go get another and raid them!

i'll run it again next time i reboot!
 
This thread is probably dead but here is the saddest result ever.

Seagate Momentus 5400.2 ST96812A 60GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache ATA-6 Notebook Hard Drive.

What do you suppose is wrong!
I see another problem, besides the obvious speed problem, your cpu utilization is 100%. My first guess is that the drive is on the way out. My second would be that your computer is infected, and the heavy cpu utilization is slowing your HD access.

Either way, back up your data now. After you back up, try a fresh install of XP.

Oh, and give us your system specs. You can fill them in, in your User Control Panel for this site.

Will do.

CPU is normally low, only on sequential read test did it rise to 90+.


HD is only a couple months old, doesn't mean it is not bad but ... I agree something is strange.

Just default. Should i have done it a diff way ?
 
My turttle :cry:

Not easy to say. It really is supposed to be based on your average file size. If you want great bench numbers it' ideal to use 16K stripes.
 
My results are pretty decent, and im on 128k stripe :p.

Was that the 2x80 in raid 0 or the 4 x 320 in raid 5?
 
Top is 4x320 in raid 5, bottom is 2x80 in raid 0 on my p5n32-e sli mobo.
