I recently installed HD Tach and was running it, and i was in shock. It showed NOTHING like i expected for my system specs. I was expecting reads like 30+MB/sec... instead i was seeing like 2MB/sec... and access times like 18ms...
I don't think HD Tach was wrong either... when i've copied large mass data from one partition to another, it takes awhile, much longer then it should.
I went through my BIOS already... everything is setup for AUTO, both in detection and in Mode Detection. Which according to my motherboard manual, should auto confige to Ultra/33/66/100 according to the HD.
I am using Ultra 100 IDE Cable that came with the motherboard.
I am using win2k
I went through my OS, looking for any DMA enabling, both via properties and the Drivers. I didn't see anything anywhere to enable it.
I am bewildered as to why my read/write speeds are so low, not to mention my access time.
When i ran Spinrite from Dosmode, i got like 9MB read/write and access of 9ms... although this ms is on par... the read/write is not...
Any constructive advice?
