May 21, 200719 yr Here's a bench on my 3 HDDs... root@Tower:~# hdparm -tT /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 3732 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1865.00 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 222 MB in 3.02 seconds = 73.51 MB/sec root@Tower:~# hdparm -tT /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: Timing cached reads: 3652 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1825.60 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 200 MB in 3.02 seconds = 66.28 MB/sec root@Tower:~# hdparm -tT /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: Timing cached reads: 3620 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1810.61 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 222 MB in 3.00 seconds = 73.91 MB/sec How do those look?? What is the best way to test network xfer speed?

May 23, 200719 yr trueimage - those speeds are typical for a 7200 RPM hard drive reading data on the outer cylinders. Speed will drop off considerably (some as much as 40%) as you move towards the inner cylinders.
