Re: [PLUG] Disk Transfer Speeds

Casey,
From what I've seen, the numbers that you've gotten are consistent with the numbers that I had at previous jobs when benchmarking old SCSI and modern IDE drives.
What type of HD do you have?

How fast are file transfers on your computer?
Recently, I noticed that some of my networked servers seemed very slow. On large (100+
MByte) file transfers, I was getting rates less than 1 MBit/sec. Changing out an old
10 MBit/sec hub to a 100 MBit/sec switch increased the speed to about 8-9 MBits/sec.
A little more investigation revealed that *local* transfers (on the same disk) maxed
out at about 9 MBits/sec. This seems to point to a limitation on the disk itself.
This still seems slow to me.
I've got a fairly good computer: AMD 3400+, 2 GBytes of RAM, Gentoo, KDE, ReiserFS,
Disk DMA active, with a half-dozen programs running.
I'm curious what speeds other people get with large files. (Gotta be sure that the
file is bigger than the cache to keep from getting bogus numbers)
