Post Hard disk transfer rates

[shanX]

There's a lightweight (623kb), standalone and freeware app named HDTune, download it here (http://hdtune.com/download.html). You can find your hd's transfer rate, access times and more tech info thru this app. And it has an option to run a test to find ur hd's transfer rate and save a screen shot of it in PNG format. Post ur hd's screenshot along with details of ur hd :)

Mine....

Hitachi HDT722516DLA380 (SATA, 160 GB, 7200rpm, 8mb cache, NCQ enabled)

Tried to test my IDE Seagate 40gb hd, cudnt run it, throws an error! :(

[shanX]

And is 39 Celcius is a bad temperature for a hard disk??

Nope.

Something's wrong with the CPU utilization and the burst rate :(
Could be Vista's doings...

[Anusha]

shanX, are you running your hard disk in native SATA mode (AHCI mode) or PATA emulated mode?

[shanX]

How to know??

On the second tab of HD tune it says SATA 1

[Anusha]

How to know??

On the second tab of HD tune it says SATA 1
It's in the BIOS. Did Windows XP ask for HDD drivers when installing it? If not, then your drive is in emulated mode. AFAIK, in emulated mode, NCQ doesn't work! NCQ is a feature of SATA. SATA is not just a newer interface. It has some more specs. Anyways, this program showed mine running in ATA-512 mode!!! WTF is that?

[shanX]

OMG, 50 celcius, I think u need a fan urgently

[shanX]

Anyways, this program showed mine running in ATA-512 mode!!! WTF is that?
Coz its not Vista compatible !

btw NCQ is ticked on the 2nd tab of HD tune.

I'm not sure whether it's showing the correct values there. For one thing, my Maxtor is cooler than the Samsung when I touch it. It's significantly cooler. For the second thing, I have felt some drives run about 10 degrees hotter than mine. For the third thing, check this out: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2454&p=13

Coz its not Vista compatible !

btw NCQ is ticked on the 2nd tab of HD tune.
Even though the hard drive itself supports NCQ, it must not be functioning.

This is quoted from an email sent to some guy from Maxtor:
Dear Reed Wilson

You are correct and the Native Command Queuing is only a Serial ATA feature. I am sorry for the confusion. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

Thank you,
TSKeith89

[shanX]

Btw doesnt PATA, SATA matter for transfer rates??

[Anusha]

Btw doesnt PATA, SATA matter for transfer rates??
If it's the same drive and different interfaces, NO. Check HDTach if you can. It gives somewhat more repeatable results.

Yours could be having a newer/better firmware.

2nd tab
Sure, your hard drive supports NCQ, but you have to run it in native SATA if you want to get it to "work"!. I can only enable it on Vista. Intel haven't released and will not be releasing necessary drivers for my motherboard to get it working int XP. They say that XP is already outdated. :D Vista has SATA support. So it doesn't require an additional driver as XP does.

[Anusha]

Yep I should hav used the family name :lol:
You say it like the surname :lol: :lol:

mine does as expected :)

Seagate drives have the best sequential read speeds out of 7200RPM drives :yes:

Sequential speed alone doesn't speak of the speed of the hard disk. Practical applications may not be benefited by it. I believe you should check the reviews before you buy a hard disk. However, Seagate is the market leader, and they offered two undisputed qualities: silence and reliability. And guess what? Maxtor is owned by Seagate!

[Anusha]

Check this out: Maxtor's DiamondMax 11 hard drive (http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q3/maxtor-diamondmax-11/index.x?pg=1)
This is about the Maxtor DiamondMax 11. But in the comparisons, they have used quite a few hard drives. You can see the plus points of Seagate drives. You'll see that the Seagate drives doesn't perform as fast as some of the other drives, for example the DiamondMax 10. The high sequential read speed doesn't necessarily mean the drive is fast.

[shanX]

How are Samsungs? I dont like WD's and Hitachi's by instinct (although am using a Hitachi, if this Hitachi survives, I'll be a Hitachi fan)

[Anusha]

They are reliable. TBH, I have (had) Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and Quantum Fireball drives and none of them have failed! So, I think the reliability has something to do with the luck :rolleyes:

[shanX]

In my case, one went down, but am not sure wt brand it is, 4-5 yrs back.

After that got a Seagate 40 GB, still in operation. Great drive with a rubber cover and all. 1-2 year back I bought a WD 40 GB a little worked out one, it worked ok sometime, then started troubling, now doesnt work at all after 2-3mins from boot. (for this hd i used liquid cooling :lol: to retrieve data, I told u once)

Btw wt happened to Quantam's ?

Maxtor bought quantum, and now seagate has bought maxtor :D

It was 10K[coz i knw the shop] on 08/08/2006 with 1 year.U can buy it now frm Mitech for 9250 with 2 years.

:yes: may be coz of my fockin cpu, may be the nvidia chipset doesnt support well,
bt still the minimum rate n access time remains higher in 252hj, reading speeds are stable
i hope to buy another 252hj soon, its really cheap too.

[fallenzeraphine]

damn i havent posted mine here, nwayz, the HD250HJ scores 105~108 MBps Maximum Read speed, 68~70 MBps Minimum read speed, Burst Rate is 215~150MBps (its 200s on the Jmicron Controller) this is on ICH9 southbridge, ofcource Depending on the SATA controller, but very slightly, Burstrate can go really bonkers but other rates stay very close what i achived here all the time, look at Anushas and Gayans screenies, ur Transfer rates look pretty weird indeed sasika, 40ish minimum is not that good, and ur burst rate is really bonkers mate...u should stick the HDD on another PC and check it maybe its defective. plus the Curve should be pretty smooth, but look at urs its spiking every few seconds, KZRO's is worse must be sumthing with the controller

No no that transfer rate graph is correct. Just the values are a little lower than I expected.

Native SATA mode (i.e. AHCI) brings two things to the party:
1. NCQ, which increases the throughput of the disk, not the raw sequential read/write speeds.
2. Hot swapping.

this is wht i found
s.bridge : NVIDIA® nForce 650i SLI (C55) Chipset
n.bridge : NVIDIA® nForce 430i (MCP55) Chipset



On-Board IDE / SATA

• Two IDE controllers on the NVIDIA nForce 430i chipset provides IDE HDD/CD-ROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66 operation modes
- Can connect up to 4 IDE devices
• NV RAID supports 4 SATA II ports (SATA1-4). Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s
• NV RAID
- Supports up to 4 SATA
- RAID 0 or 1, 0+1, 5, JBOD is supported
- RAID function work w/ SATAII H/D

Maybe the HDD was in use when he ran the benchmark.

AHCI should be enabled from BIOS. BIOS defaults set it to IDE mode for all mobos as far as I know.
Win XP doesn't have a native AHCI driver. Drivers need to be installed at OS setup time, usually from a floppy disk. There could be alternative methods however.
Win Vista has native support for SATA HDDs, but better to install specific drivers after setup.

problem is underlined.Also note that with some MSI,Biostar mobos they have made the mobo in a way that we get the AHCI features,no option to enable/disable it in BIOS.And here is the kicker programs show it is in IDE mode emulated to SATA.

And FYI guys if you enabled AHCI after the win XP installation u have to reinstall windows.If not it will not boot.So better enable it when you reinstall the OS.

There is a workaround for Vista, if you have two controllers on your mobo like ICH and JMicron. Not sure if it will work for XP, but it should.

[zCexVe]

There is a workaround for Vista, if you have two controllers on your mobo like ICH and JMicron. Not sure if it will work for XP, but it should.I dont think XP will accept a workaround.Besides SIS and Jmicron controllers are more pushed towards e-SATA these days as a result of 6 or more from the SB.

Doesn't matter. If there is a SATA port, it should work. Not sure with eSATA, because AHCI could be enabled on those ports by default for hot plug/unplug features.
