Don't know what the severe graph dips are in HDTune, but the maximum and average numbers appear about right. In AS SSD the Read Acc. time gave an error message for some reason on the first run. Ran the Intel tools and that appears to have corrected whatever occurred. Some of the second run numbers are slightly lower.
I would like to tap the knowledge base here to assist with ideas on why these disks
are so slow.
I purchased 2 Hybrid SATA disks (Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 32 MB Cache ST95005620AS ) and configured them as RAID-1 on my Gateway desktop (DX-4320) w/Acer Veriton M430 motherboard.
They work ok, but when I ran one of the tests (below) they have horrible results.
I know this is for SSD's but I assume the test is valid for any disk.
Results (attached).
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Some of those numbers are nor bad if you compare them to plain HDDs - this is not an SSD. The SSD part is only used for some buffering - but the backend is always a slow HDD. And judging from the Write -Access time, they are not using a top SSD for buffering either.
Those hybrids do not seem to sell too well. Here you have the reason. At the end they are HDDs with a better buffer.
Nice scores, The HD Tune was designed for HDDs but alot of people use it for SSDs.
The dips are usually caused by SSD activity.
You can test it from a different OS, if you have one, or mini PE OS on a flash drive, and it will be smoother.
Will get my new X25-M G2 120GB tomorrow
Laptop will get the X25-V 40GB in its second drive bay.
It's not too bad, 22.3GB used and 14.8GB free.
The dreaded winsxs folder is up to almost 6GB, will be a couple of fresh installs tomorrow
