    Poor HDD performance?

    Hi all,

    My main hard drive is an IBM 60GXP 40Gb 7200 RPM, but PCMark2002 gives me a poor result of around 500. SiSoft Sandra (latest version - 2002.1.8.59) gave a result of 21070 which seemed a little low too.

    Any hints on boosting my HDD performance? I use an Epox 8K7A+ using the highpoint 370 controller (but not using RAID).

    hmmm - I just ran Sisoft again, but this time used the PC while doing the test and now I get 25163 which seems better?

    Try using cacheman it can boost your score by ~10%!
    According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...

      pcmark2002 gave me a hdd score of 2143, and my harddisk is crap, i wouldn´t trust that benchmark, if i were you.
      This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

        Try running ATTO, ZDBench or maybe HDTach, Sandra has never been a good HDD benchmark and PCMark2002 just plain sucks for HDD testing at least.

          My PCMark2002 harddrive score on a P4 2.3 GHz with a Cheetah X15 was 500. Your call
