Well here is some diskperf data on an A2090 HD controller with a 40Mb ST
506 drive ( NEC 5146 ). This was done on the first 10Mb partition of the
disk, these are times reflecting when the partition was empty.
File create/delete: create 8 files/sec, delete 27 files/sec
Directory scan: 42 entries/sec
Seek/read test: 67 seek/reads per second
r/w speed: buf 512 bytes, rd 34952 byte/sec, wr 13724 byte/sec
r/w speed: buf 4096 bytes, rd 45990 byte/sec, wr 20641 byte/sec
r/w speed: buf 8192 bytes, rd 47662 byte/sec, wr 21140 byte/sec
r/w speed: buf 32768 bytes, rd 48545 byte/sec, wr 21845 byte/sec
Seems like pretty good performance when compared to other drives
available. <Glenn
