# Hi,
#
# I recently bought a IBM DTTA 351010 (10 GB) EIDE/ATA disk, capable of UDMA2,
# because I just needed space (eveything else is SCSI) and am just about
# broke. :(
#
# Various tests describe this thing as fast (~6.5 MB/sec), and it is the only
# IDE device I have in my machine, but hdparm only tells me 2.5MB/sec (my
# DCAS-34330W does 5.8MB/sec according to hdparm, and ~4MB/sec according to
# magazines).
Egads! No offense, but that sucks ... I have the same same drive (just
bought it last week):
hdparm -ItT /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb:
Model=BI-MTDAT3-1510 0 , FwRev=5TO67AA3, SerialNo=
Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }
RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=34
BuffType=3(DualPortCache), BuffSize=466kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=8
DblWordIO=no, maxPIO=2(fast), DMA=yes, maxDMA=2(fast)
CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=19807200
tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: sword0 sword1 sword2 mword0 mword1
mword2
IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4
/dev/hdb:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 64 MB in 0.89 seconds =71.91 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 32 MB in 2.64 seconds =12.12 MB/sec
# Where can I tune, except for "hda=autotune,dma" (tried that)?
tried:
hdparm -u1 -c1 -d1 -m8 -X66 /dev/hdb
?
But my question is, why isn't the current mode showed with "hdparm -i" or
"hdparm -I" ??
