Slow transfer rate (NOT a support thread)

[jeff.lebowski]

35-40 kbytes/s = From HDD on my workstation to cache disk or directly to array.

 

9-11 kbytes/s = From the sabnzbd download directory on the cache disk to array (even when the mover protocols are in use).

 

I wonder if there's something weird about the cache disk I use. It's an old 250GB IDE model. It runs cool and error free, but has a few issues according to the SMART details:

 

» reallocated_sector_ct=5

» reallocated_event_count=2

» current_pending_sector=1

» ata_error_count=593

 

When I invoke mover, disk performance hits as high as 60,000 kbytes/s.

 

Is there something about disk performance that causes this type of behavior? The slow rate of transfer, I mean.

Ooh, had not thought of that. Thanks!
