The performance of SATA drive is not upto the mark. I used to get
better results on FC3. What could be the possible problem and any
ideas on how to solve it?
My Gigabyte 8IPE Pro with a Segate 7200 80Gb SATA disk is getting:
Timing cached reads: 3332 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1667.09 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 168 MB in 3.03 seconds = 55.49 MB/sec
This is basically the same as what it was with FC3. In fact, all my
systems with SATA & Segate 7200 disks all get 55MB/sec consistantly.
