Post your HDTach 3 Results!

that is pretty good and much better results Judas, no one is gonna beat that one for a while.
when i have some time to play with that again, i will see what i can do anyway.

you have plenty of free disk space?
i would have a larger partition size for Vista, like 80-100GB partition and leave the paging file as an auto manage size for all drives.

Judas · Nov 26, 2007, 12:34 AM

Yeah i've auto managed page file.

but i set the main C partition to 50gb ..... i install all my games to a completely seperate partition... which is 500gb, the next is video (HD-DVDs and such) which is 1000gb and then another which is 1000gb and one last one which is just about 300gb...

i've got WAY to much freaking space right now lol....

i really which they made high performance hardrives that were say 100gb each......i'm more then happy with running 600gb total....

i think you will and should see the CPU % gets lower once the processor has been overclocked, your memory subsystem is a more optimized.

Judas · Dec 31, 2007, 03:31 PM

little bit of a better result...

zaim · Jun 21, 2008, 12:13 AM

3 x sas drives 15k.5

Judas · Jun 21, 2008, 10:24 AM

nice..

but that's just a smidge slower then my results of running 3 seagate 7200.11's in raid 0 on the intel ich9r chipset.

with only a 0.9ms random access time variation.

Could you run the FULL test instead o the quick,

Considering that if i were to run the quick test, my scores would be over 1000mb/s average lol

Just Learnin' · Jul 11, 2008, 02:59 PM

250GB slice of 6 x 7200.11's

Panging and Judas on vacation?

PangingJr · Jul 12, 2008, 05:40 PM

it's a pretty high read speed. i don't have 6 empty and fast drives right now, i give up. it has to be Judas.

Just Learnin' · Jul 12, 2008, 06:17 PM

Can you put the "burst" speed in layman's terms for me Panging? I have read a bit about it but am not really sure I understand what it means...

Judas · Jul 15, 2008, 11:31 AM

burst speeds are essentially this:

The cache present on the hardrives provides a fast access, if enough information is loaded to burst, it will. Burst speeds are usually what's measured for the maximum amount of data that can be transferred back and forth initially.

But it's pretty limiting, you can hit insane burst speeds of 1000-2000-5000+ MB/S ... but they don't ammount to much considering they are just a small burst of a small amount of information, imo it's pretty insignificant. Theres more concern for random access and overall read/write speeds then burst.....

Thanks for that Judas. Thought we lost you, serious about the West Nile? Sure hope not!

Judas · Jul 15, 2008, 11:52 AM

not sure....

i was gradually getting worse from about end of june/start of july....

then come the 9th i was seriously losing my ability to do anything, muscles just happened to fall apart, headaches, etc and so forth to the point i couldn't even stand up, and only yesterday have i gradually started to feel better, i had to close shop up for those days though, i probably shouldn't even be a work today... but the more i think about it, the more it sounds like west nile.

ahhhhhrrrggghhhhh! how do I delete this post? am I just blind or something? i went into edit but I can't find delete anywhere. I'm new to this forum, sorry.

Hi, everyone. I have what I think is a weird HD Tach result and I was wondering if anyone could help me understand it

Two 150 GB Raptors in Raid 0 on an nforce4 raid controller, XP SP2. I don't understand why it's basically flat with weird spikes. It almost looks as if the read is being limited by something, but then why does it go up occasionally?

Any ideas?

zaim · Jul 19, 2008, 09:29 PM

I woulda expected a lil faster than that with 2x 150 raptors

I've got a new rig
MBM is a P5Q with the "R" south bridge . I now have 6 disk in raid 5
the strip size is set to 64kb

im disappointed with the pc mark 05 score
Suite: HDD Test Suite
Test set: HDD - XP Startup

Test set: HDD - Application Loading

the inbuilt vista test thing only rated my HD performance 0.2 hire than the PC i have with only one 40g gb disk .

However the HD tach score is much improved

Ultrasonic2 · Jul 25, 2008, 09:15 PM

xerkon

120mb is the PCI bus limitation . i've been stuck at that in the past

Judas · Jul 27, 2008, 10:26 PM

nice results ultra....

what hardrives you using again?

btw xerkon.

your nforce 4 raid results are fairly accurate.. your sevearly limited by your motherboard chipset itself..

in some cases i ended up with complete corruption using the nforce raid controller..... be cautious about it though.

swimtech · Aug 2, 2008, 01:01 PM

Here's mine for my single WD drive. I have it in four partitions, a 390G partition for Vista, a 97 gig partition for Ubuntu, a 4Gig partition that Ubuntu made also, and a 105 gig partition that contains the image of the Vista partition.

My 3 WD6400AAKS' in RAID5 on a Dell Perc 5/i (flashed to LSI 8480E) w/ 256mb cache. Not the best, but good enough for an HTPC.

caveman-jim · Sep 17, 2008, 06:30 PM

Here's my Intel ICH9R setup, 6 7200.9's (4x300gb, 2x250gb) in Raid5.

[hobo]eclipse · Sep 17, 2008, 08:24 PM

INTEL ICH9R

2 x Seagate 7200.10 320GB w/ 160GB and 480GB partitions made in the Intel Matrix storage bios (seen as 2 drives in windows)

160 GB

and HD Tune for good measure

480 GB partition

and HD Tune again
