Firewire comes in at ~24MB/sec. My R3240 (60 GB, 4200 rpm) is even worse: sudo hdparm -t /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 72 MB in 3.01 seconds = 23.90 MB/sec This is why I bought a new 7200 rpm Hitachi Travelstar. It's already here, but I decided it would be easier to clone my old drive to it if it was an external USB drive, so I ordered a USB 2.0 enclosure to put it in temporarily. As soon as the enclosure arrives I'll make the swap and then report back with new statistics. And then I can use the enclosure for my old drive to use for backups and stuff. _______________________________________________ LinuxR3000 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 Wiki at http://prinsig.se/weekee/
