Fastest disk in the west or bad iozone numbers?

2006-08-03 Thread Nikolas Britton
Anyone have a clue why iozone reports disk read rates of 688MegaBytes/s on a 1GB test file? Am I doing something stupid, like not converting the numbers correctly? I've attached the iozone report, It's from a single 400GB Seagate SATA drive. infomatic# iozone -az -g 1g -b ~/seagate.xls
