[leglug-users] Harddisk performance

[fire]

Alaa,

I believe there's a new util called sdparm for managing SCSI-like
devices under Linux, I haven't fiddled around with that, yet! :P

Hope this helps, but anyhow, 50MB/sec on SATA is ok, here are my stats
on a P4 3.2GHz with 2GB of RAM and 80GB HDD running VMware workstation
with 2 VMs.

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   4168 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2084.12 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  176 MB in  3.03 seconds =  58.12 MB/sec
