Disk speed test using hdparm -tT (does this look normal)

[mickeykool]

Shouldn't I be getting faster reads?

 

/dev/sda:

Timing cached reads:  6180 MB in  2.00 seconds = 3093.63 MB/sec

Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  3.01 seconds =  21.28 MB/sec

 

/dev/sdb:

Timing cached reads:  6294 MB in  2.00 seconds = 3150.75 MB/sec

Timing buffered disk reads: 800 MB in  3.00 seconds = 266.40 MB/sec

 

/dev/sdc:

Timing cached reads:  6128 MB in  2.00 seconds = 3067.99 MB/sec

Why?

 

You didn't specify what drives they are.  I assume sda is your flash, and sdb is an unlisted (not in your signature) ssd?  The others look relatively normal for a set of hard drives, including 2 Reds.
