This is the test i did on my Sata 200Gb. Can someone explain what im lookin at here? i dont really understand the concept of this program. i know it has to do with the read and write speed of your HD right?

It's "theoritically" the transfer rate of your hard drive.

Yet me assure you though, you won't get anywhere near those results in a real world enviroment.

yep, alot of these benchmarks are nothing more than mental masturbation when it comes right down to it, what counts is how it all works together in the real world, and can you do anything with it, if its overkill you wasted $$, if its too slow to do the job then you are wating time

My main machine has 33MB/sec IDE drives, I usually see about 12-14MB/sec with light load conditions, and as little as 3-4MB/sec under a heavy load, sounds slow, but most of the time its plenty, its way faster than transferring a file across my LAN

Lan is 12.5 MEG theroretical and about 10 actual, it brings it upto almost 120 with gigabit LAN's as well

Why does it say your HD is WD btw?

 

[Lasrix]

..because my HD is Western Digital? if your asking me that is .
