bonnie++ is a much closer to real world test then hdparm, I reccomend using it. Not sure why so many people use hdparm to test performance. Lower level performance doesn't mean a whole lot, filesystems can dramatically affect performance. I would expect your results to get lower, 9MB/s sounds very very fast for a UDMA2 disk. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
