hdparm test results are independant of filesystem. Likely your speed issues are with either the difference in the HD's different internal buffer/controllers or the motherboard BIOS or I/O controller. But ext3 should give some performance hit. It has been documented. But you can't measure it with hdparm. -- Brian Ashe CTO Dee-Web Software Services, LLC.
