LOW harddrive benchmarks - can it really be true?!

[buckley 0]

Hi.

 

I only get 1.47MB/sec 'Uncached performance' in the Wintune benchmark test.

 

That's a rather low score isn't it?

 

My system:

CPU: AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz

Motherboard: ABit KT7 - RAID

HDD: IBM 75GXP - 30GB

256MB RAM

Windows 2000 SP1

 

My filesystem is NTFS - but that shouldn't make the HDD slower, right?

 

The harddrive is connected to the RAID port.

If connected to the IDE port I only get 1.23MB/sec.

try moving you NIC (if you have one) or anyother cards. I have the same Mobo and i first got 11MB/s now after moving my cards around (particularaly my NIC) i get 28MB/s.
