Those numbers seem about right. The three disks in my PC at work show: sda: Samsung SpinPoint SP0411C 40GB SATA/150 7200RPM 2MB HDD /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 2920 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1460.18 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 150 MB in 3.02 seconds = 49.72 MB/sec sdb: Seagate Barracuda ST380011A IDE 80 GB /dev/sdb: Timing cached reads: 2836 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1417.47 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 80 MB in 3.02 seconds = 26.45 MB/sec sdc: MAXTOR 4G120J6 IDE 120.0GB /dev/sdc: Timing cached reads: 2920 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1460.83 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 80 MB in 3.07 seconds = 26.09 MB/sec I think the IDE drives should be faster but I haven't got an ATA-100 cable so that might be the culprit. - Peder _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
