I have a pretty new SATA drive at 3GB/sec and it seems to have to seek longer than I'd expect.FWIW, the SATA spec is 3Gbits/sec and I believe that hdparm is reporting MBytes/sec.
You're right, of course, but the data coming off the surface still isn't going to do it at 3 Bits/sec.
Mainframes _do_ do 3 Gbytes/sec, and more;-) -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa coco merseine nu Z1aaaaaaa coco merseine nu -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Please do not reply off-list
