Wow, what a great suggestion! I ran the hdparm test on my drive and
got about 3 Megabytes per second. Then, I turned on DMA for the drive
and am getting about 11 with the same test! Subjectively, the system
seems a lot "snappier", too.
This is on a ThinkPad 770ED with a 25 Gig drive.
BTW, Turning DMA on for the DVD drive made no apparent difference.
Thanks!
Ron.
