  • shouldn't my HDD be faster???...

    I have a maxtor 40gig ata133 and my mobo supports ata133 but it's damn sure not as fast as i thoguht it would be.

    here are my benchmark results from pcmark2002:

    Hard Disk Tests

    Cached File Write 15.8 MB/s
    Uncached File Write 13.9 MB/s
    Cached File Read 6.3 MB/s
    Uncached File Read 32.6 MB/s
    File Copy 11.0 MB/s

    what do you guys think????

    ATA133 is more flash than anything else, so I really wouldn't be too concerned.
    2nd I haven't benched with PCMark2002 yet (download gets corrupted each time), so I can't say how accurate PCMark is in the disk area. I don't know what filesystem you are using, but if it's NTFS, that might throw it for a loop---but this is just a guess.

    Ignoring the benchmarks, how fast does it feel to you?

      ignoring the benchmark...yea, it's fast enough for me, I can't say that i haven't been pleased with it. And yes, it is NTFS
