This makes the disks even faster: OLD-IDE ------- [root@kayak /root]# hdparm -T -t /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 4816 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2408.44 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 12 MB in 3.23 seconds = 3.72 MB/sec Libata ata_piix --------------- [root@kayak /root]# hdparm -T -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 4960 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2480.38 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 168 MB in 3.00 seconds = 55.94 MB/sec Liata AHCI ---------- [root@kayak /root]# hdparm -T -t /dev/sda /dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 5036 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2518.96 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 178 MB in 3.03 seconds = 58.73 MB/sec Wew... This makes it a worthy upgrade!
