Hm... that sounds a little bit disappointing, especially as I found out that theres an SATA- disk in my laptop (Samsung X20). sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda results in: Timing cached reads: 1592 MB in 2.00 seconds = 795.96 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 96 MB in 3.06 seconds = 31.40 MB/sec Shouldn't that be fast enough? Are there any people here who are recording to systemdisks with no problems? As a workaround, I'm recording the Hydrogen track in Ardour, so that I can switch Hydrogen of. I'm not very happy with it, though. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
