hdparm -tT output:
/dev/sde:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2000 MB in 2.00 seconds = 999.65 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 166 MB in 3.02 seconds = 54.96 MB/sec
/dev/sdc:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1996 MB in 2.00 seconds = 997.15 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.04 seconds = 33.56 MB/sec
sde is an 80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 7200rpm drive in the new FW enclosure.
sdc is an 18GB Maxtor Atlas 10k III 10000rpm SCSI drive hanging off an Adaptec
AHA-2940U2W
It seems hard to believe, but the 7200rpm ATA drive running through the Oxford
firewire appears faster than my internal 10k rpm SCSI drive.
> Did you add this extra heatsink on your new drive case?
Yep. See pic: http://www.beefstew.net/images/fw800.png
Right now it's just pushed on there with heatsink paste, but before I put the
lid on I'll probably mix up some epoxy with heatsink paste and make it
permanent.
I'm running the drive at the 800 speed. Right now I'm using HFSplus and it
seems to work just fine. cfdisk doesn't recognize the partitioning scheme
(that threw me for a loop last night), but if I just try to mount partition 1
of the drive I'm good to go!
Does anyone know of good software to manage mounts so that each of my
removable drives always appears under the same mount point upon plug-in? I
have a USB digital camera and CF reader that can occupy SCSI disk letters -
so writing scripts and stuff gets tricky when they can be coming in at any
one of 3 letters...
Thanks.
Chris.
