COMPETITION:
"Guess the average transfer rate"
I will be transfering a ~300Mb file from one of my drives to the other. you have to guess the average transfer rate (Mb/sec).
the winner gets showered with praise & glory.
competition nitty gritty:
(info you may need)
athlon 1386Mhz 154mhz fsb.
via ata100 interface.
ata100 ide cable.
[SOURCE] primary master: 40Gb IBM 60GXP ata100, 7200rpm, 2Mb cache, 2/3 full, defragmented, NTFS.
[DESTINATION] primary slave: 16.8Gb IBM 16GP ata33, 5400rpm, 512Kb cache, 1/2 to 3/5 full. defragmented, FAT32.
obviously the slower drive will determine the transfer rate. your skill comes in trying to estimate this with the drive half full and having both drives on the same bus.
Remeber. closest guess wins the glory. judges decision is final (me)
My hamster really wants to give you a big kiss, you sexy hunk you!
