I'll give it a try tonight when I get home w/ my raid setup and see what i get.

trying it now

Hmm my CPU usage during the tests seem to be really high. I get around 27% using the Fuji drive on the ATA100 controller, and around 38% using the WD drive which is connected to the high point controller, what %s you guys get?

i was getting about 45-50 %

BTW this test took me 27 minutes to complete so be forwarned

i need some tweaking

[Lazlow]

i just use the optimal intel chipset and intel application accelarator and leave it on unlimited you notice a huge increase in speed like twice the speed

YOS are you using a raid or not ??

[YARDofSTUF]

ya but the raid was set to 16k and the partition 4k, it was only temporary, putting the aray in another box now

[Mark]

could anyone else try this benchmark to se what they get ?

*bump*

I get the same as what HDTach gives me, around 49MB/sec at the outer tracks, around 29MB/sec on the inner ones, around 85MB/sec burst. Only diff is that this prog says it uses up 38% CPU and HDTach says 11%, I think HDTach is more accurate cuz I doubt even Raid0 configs can use up that much CPU

The VIA Raid patch boosts burst rates, but increases CPU usage tho

thats wierd 'cause this tool gives me a much better score than anything i have tried.

maybe i will try reinstalling HD tach and see what i get.
