LIST OF SCSI ADAPTERS DROPPED IN XP

those bastards

 

mine worked fine but i did take a performance hit with my old drives

Yep, SCSI performance dropped from 2K to XP. Big bug. Dunno if it's fixed in SP1. Anyone done any benchmarks?

 

Gonna check out the thread at storagereview and see if it has.

guys how fast is SCSI supposed to be?

I have 2 SCSi HDD's (9.1 GB each) hooked up to my AIC-7895 Dual ULTRA SCSI onboard.

In nero when i tell it to test my drive speeds this is what i get:

 

IDE HDD (Partitioned)

C:\ 12,172 Kb/s

F:\ 14,912kb/s

 

IBM ULTRA SCSI master (partitioned)

E:\ 11,648 KB/s (BOOT HDD)

H:\ 8,842 KB/s

 

IBM ULTRA SCSI Slave

D:\ 3,443 Kb/s

G:\5,900 KB/s

 

I think SCSI should be faster than IDE?

i was not dong anything while this test was taking place:

DK440LX

Dual PII~300Mhz

512Mb RAM

Windows XP

 

Yes yes, i Am getting a new PC soon and moving up to modern technology...

if i look at my sys event viewer i see a warning at boot

 

driver turned off write behind caching for this drive

 

i dont think it messes with raw transfer speeds just slows down overall performance

i dont see that error, or any other error that relates to SCSI....

my hd's in nero read 26000 kb's

sooo what the hell is wrong with my HDD's?????

is it my onboard card? or just need better drivers???

[Immortal 0]

i always have Sophos Inter check monitor on, il see what happens if i disable it and re-run.

[Immortal 0]

well, u were right, after i disabled Sophos 1 of my HDD's were much faster, they got to 15mb/s but the other one stayed lower than 5mb/s @ about 3...,

And what is the average speed for ULTRA SCSI?

[Immortal 0]

No my BIOS doesnt have an option for the PCI latency tweak....

and i did see the mod on ur GF4 card, its amazing... , so i know why u dont have any more space .

Anwyay thnx for all you help, im gonna get a new P4 system soon anyway....
