How about 8 parallel hdparm -t achieving a sum of 188.04 MB/sec and 16
achieving 202.52 MB/sec :-)
This is with an i810 chipset and a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 40. This
drive has made me really rethink IDE vs. SCSI. It blows away our
Cheetahs in every test I've tried and costs a LOT less and is quieter
and... (With 8 parallel hdparm -t I get only 136 MB/sec.)
Are these parallel hdparm -t numbers meaningful? What do they mean?
Clearly the drive cannot muster than kind of transfer rate from the
media. Is this just measuring the IDE bus speed and relying on the
drives cache?
