Hello Experts,
I am a kernel newbie.
While checking the hard-disk performance I have found that write is
significantly slower than read.
In my setup I am using UDMA 5 mode , and I am using is ST340016A (from
Seagate) and Diamond Max Plus 9 (from Maxtor).
I checked the product manual for ST340016A and found that seek time
for read/write is approximately same.
While, I am able to read at a speed of 55 Mbps , for write operation
the speed decreases to 20Mbps.
I am using linux kernel version 2.4.25 #41 .
Can anyone give me some info on why write is so slow compared to read.
Moreover, I am wondering if I could achieve the 100Mbps read speed as
claimed by different vendors.For me , It should ideally be 100 Mbps as
I am using a 80 conductor cable and UDMA 5.Why then I am getting 58
Mbps max . .
Is it because linux kernel 2.4.25 supports upto ATA-2 standard ??
Well, I am using a 400 MHz amd processor.
I would greatly appreciate if some one could explain the read/write
behaviour and help me find out how can I get 100 Mbps speed .
Thanks for reading my mail.
Regards,
-Saswat
