Thread: Slow Hard disk

hi

it's bit odd , confused

got 2 sata hdd connected ga-p35-ds3l

first 1 windows , ubuntu installed
=model=maxtor stm3500320as , fwrev=mx15 , serialno= 9qm18dep

second datas , smal partition trials : model=maxtor 6v250f0 , fwrev=va111900, serialno=v599sa7g

#1 sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda*

config={ hardsect notmfm hdsw>15usec fixed dtr>10mbs rotspdtol>.5% }
rawchs=16383/16/63, trksize=0, sectsize=0, eccbytes=4
bufftype=unknown, buffsize=0kb, maxmultsect=16, multsect=?16?
curchs=16383/16/63, cursects=16514064, lba=yes, lbasects=976773168
iordy=on/off, tpio={min:120,w/iordy:120}, tdma={min:120,rec:120}
pio modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
dma modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
udma modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6
advancedpm=no writecache=enabled
drive conforms to: unknown: ata/atapi-4,5,6,7

under windows maxtor tools buffer=32 , active hackintosh (sdb2) , here buffsize=0kb ??

#2 activated linux
sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb

config={ fixed }
rawchs=16383/16/63, trksize=0, sectsize=0, eccbytes=4
bufftype=dualportcache, buffsize=16384kb, maxmultsect=16, multsect=?0?
curchs=16383/16/63, cursects=16514064, lba=yes, lbasects=490234752
iordy=on/off, tpio={min:120,w/iordy:120}, tdma={min:120,rec:120}
pio modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
dma modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
udma modes: udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 *udma6
advancedpm=yes: disabled (255) writecache=enabled
drive conforms to: ata/atapi-7 t13 1532d revision 0: ata/atapi-1,2,3,4,5,6,7

, 1 has right amount of buffering
notice 1 indicate fixed , other = hardsect notmfm hdsw>15usec fixed dtr>10mbs rotspdtol>.5%
..

access disk , copies or zip-unzip dezipe rise cpu activity 100% , lag other activities , windows these jobs keep reasonable amount of ressources available same disk.

if has clue .

nb it's brand new disk (sda1) , no memtest error
bios disks ahci smart off ( on doesn't change anything)
