HD Tach Scores - Page 3

Here it is for my system (at left in the "My System" menu).

32 MB read:
-------------------------
Sequencial read = 31 MB/s
Burst Speed = 97.1 MB/s
Random Access = 19.4 ms
CPU Utilization = 4%
Average Read = 22.1 MB/s

Now this is with my new Seagate 7200 RPM drive as opposed to my old Hitachi 4200 RPM drive.

32 MB read:
-------------------------
Sequential read = 45 MB/s
Burst Speed = 91.0 MB/s
Random Access = 14.7 ms
CPU Utilization = 4%
Average Read = 36.7 MB/s

Lifeismusic · 08-08-2007, 09:19 AM

Sequential Read Peak = 110MB/s
Burst Speed = 350MB/s
Average Read = 56.9 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 2%
Random Access = 13.6ms

I'm a little confused as to why I am able to consistantly achieve a Burst Speed of over 300MB/s. I'm using 4x 250GB WD 7200rpm drives in RAID 0+1, using an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe for the controller. But because these are SATA, shouldn't they only be able to get to 300, not 300+?

**TheMatt** · 08-08-2007, 12:22 PM

Better for my new build. See left. <<<

Sequential Read Peak = 66 MB/s
Burst Speed = 196 MB/s
Average Read = 54.7 MB/s
CPU Utilization = 6%
Random Access = 13.4ms

Because the drives are in a striping array, you do 300 MB/s x 2 for the max burst speed.

Oh I see, thanks.

Hey figured I'd chime in
none raid Western digital cavier 7,200 sata2
Sequential Read Peak= 65MB/s
Burst Speed = 200MB/s
Average Read =55MB/s

Ooooh yeh.
Seems 4 SATA discs in RAID0 is a little over the top but sure does yield decent stats.
Just got a 329-330 MB/s burst using my 4 x WD 160g SATA 7200's
Powered using the stock JMicron RAID controller supplied on the ASUS P5B D

You peaked at about 160MB/s which is actually pretty good for four disks. Usually even synthetic benchmarks don't get that high with RAID 0.

geek73 · 11-16-2007, 05:32 PM

Here is my lonly numbers..with only 2 of my hard drives connected. But remeber I am also running 2 instances of Folding at home

Here is my just one hard drive yuck looks almost dead

Here is a much better test.. Though for your hard drives

**TheMatt** · 11-16-2007, 09:15 PM

Those spikes in the first screenshot can't be right - how can you get 4.0GB/s when your interface limits 3.0GB/s?

Is that second one a RAID 0 array?

geek73 · 11-16-2007, 10:19 PM

No mistake lol.. There raptors in Raid 0... I will do it again..

The reason for the spikes is I just downloaded a 4.7 gig iso file for Linux and it is on my raid stripe.. I think one of my raptors is dying though..

You should see what I get when I connect 6 hard drives in Raid )

I will do the other test as well as it is more reliable,, You can download it off of me

**TheMatt** · 11-17-2007, 09:00 PM

Ahh you have four of them so 3.0GB/s x 4. I shouldn't be posting after midnight.

**techpro5238** · 12-09-2007, 01:48 PM

Didn't want to type, my stats are in My System drop down ^^

Motorhead8478 · 12-18-2007, 07:00 PM

Heres a screen capture of my latest 4x SATA II RAID zero, command queuing off.

If unreadable
Burst 334
AverageRead 134

Not bad for 4 cheap Western Digital 80GB SATA 3.0 drives
