Hi,
I have just purchased a new 80GB drive, howerver i noticed it is running
significantly slower than my current 80gb drive.
Dmesg says this:
ad0: 76319MB <ST380021A> [155061/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100
ad2: 76319MB <ST380011A> [155061/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA33
Why is one running at udma100 and my new one running at
udma33? iosys reports it as 4 times slower! Is there any
special tuning or kernel option i need to set?
This may not be useful for you, but I hit a problem like
this at one time. In my case, it turned out that the
ATA cable was hooked up backwards. By that I mean that
the "motherboard" end was connected to the hard disk, and
the "master disk" end was connected to the motherboard.
It worked, but ran at the slower speed.
