Show us your hard drive performance

Not bad, just your standard 1tb 7200 Barracuda I just got with a bundle.

Brand spankin' new WD5000AAKX. I did have to put a jumper on it to throttle it back to 3Gbps because my mobo doesn't have 6Gbps capability.
I also took a screenshot of the SMART attributes after formatting the drive.

Try it without the jumper, it's backwards compatible with 6Gbs and may perform a bit better.

No real need to throttle back to 3Gb/s. No harddrive will ever max out 6Gb/s.
We arent even maxing 3Gb/s sata yet.
So dont go through any throtteling back stuff.
If not completely necessary though

I put a jumper on as a precaution, because my mobo does not support the SATA III (6Gbps) speeds. I ASSumed that there'd be maybe a compatibility issue like I had in the past connecting a SATA II (3Gbps) drive to an old FIC AM39L mobo that had only SATA I (1.5Gbps) speed capability. Wouldn't boot.

UPDATE: I tried it without the jumper. Not only are these pretty lousy results, but the whole computer acts like it's trying to run through quicksand. Back it goes.

This is not a disk but a stick. Beats any HDD.

Don't really know what to think? :huh:

 

[OvenMaster]

Ouch.
Your specs indicate that it's your only HD. Was your PC doing any other I/O at the time? Your CPU was relatively active at 15.8%.

I just got this stick. The access time is similar to a SSD. Transfer rate compares to my 128GB stick above.

2year Old Seagate 1TB 2.5inch HDD.
Is this good?

Two WD Blue 1TB (single platter) in a raid 0 configuration on Intel Z87 chipset. Used for local system (mostly) and data backup.

Same disk different MB
775 vs Z97 (sata 2 MB vs sata 3 MB)
only 1TB drive is sata III

Here's a weird result: WD 160GB ATA-100 drive, master position on my IDE ribbon cable.
I've never seen such a flat result on a spinner before. Odd.

 

[Diosoth]

New WD drive I ordered via Amazon. I guess this is good? Running in my 2009 Gateway PC so it's probably not getting the full SATA potential.

 

[OvenMaster]

I was wondering about a 10EZEX. Even next to the hub, you're reading 90MB/sec? No spinner I have comes even close to that.
So yeah, I'd say that's quite good.

I believe this drive uses a single platter, which may be part of the reason why.

Amazon.com: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache - WD10EZEX: Computers & Accessories

Worth noting that it is only $2 more than the nearest equivalent WD green drive and $1 less than the nearest Seagate. If this price holds I may order another next month. This drive is mostly to set aside as a replacement drive for either PC should the current drives fail but with 2 PCs it would not hurt to have 2 spares.

Hi, Here is my computer hard drive performance

 

[djrobison22]

My Seagate ST31000528AS (1000gb)

Here is my Read benchmark for my Seagate ST31000528AS (1000gb). I am in the process of upgrading to a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and will post those results once that process is completed.

Then you will see a difference in speed
