Previously hdparm (-Tt) 5.3 gave me results of 752/41. Today I upgraded to hdparm 5.4 and I get the following results!
$ hdparm -Tt /dev/hda
/dev/hda: Timing buffer-cache reads: 2912 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1454.55 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 120 MB in 3.01 seconds = 39.91 MB/sec
Is it telling the truth or am I seeing things? If this is true then my hard drive has become twice as fast within the time it took to perform the upgrade.
What is going on here?
