I use external USB and firewire drives fairly regularly. USB does not come close to achieving 48 MB / sec. Firewire (400 mb flavor) does noticeably better than USB.
Would dd from /dev/zero to /dev/sdX would be a reasonable way to benchmark the interface at the expense of any data on the drive? (I suppose higher quality hardware might do better. I assume these are commodity parts and essentially buy what's on sale.) -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp DLSLUG/GNHLUG library http://dlslug.org/library.html http://www.librarything.com/catalog/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rsshtml/recent/dlslug http://www.librarything.com/rss/recent/dlslug _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
