athy:/src/DiskPerf-1.0.4 # ./DiskPerf /dev/hda Device: IBM-DTLA-307075 Serial Number: YSDYSFA5874 LBA 0 DMA Read Test = 45.73 MB/Sec (5.47 Seconds) Outer Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test = 35.85 MB/Sec (6.97 Seconds) Inner Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test = 17.62 MB/Sec (14.19 Seconds) Sorry I do not have the other boxes configured with a kernel to accept this test callout. However I do have systems that rip at 63 MB/Sec and if you adjust for CR3's between kernel to user-space it comes out to about 93 MB/Sec. There is nothing LAME or LACKING about that performance!
