Hello,
I was having a slow performane while copying files using win xp.
I have 2 60 gig ibm deskstar 7200 rpm Hard drives on Raid 0.
To copy a 250 meg file takes approx. 18-20 seconds.
I got sandra and ran a benchmark "using" the windows disk cache.
My read speed is great around 80 MB/Sec but my write speed is only around 10 MB/sec.
If I disable "use the windows disk cache" during the test it compares well and writes well.
So the hard drive and raid controller itself is not the problem.
It must be windows. Sandra suggested I make sure "write verify" is turned off. How do I do this??
Any other suggestions welcome.
Oh yeah it copied 250 meg files about 4 days ago in about 4-5 seconds.
I also ran defrag 3 times, no difference.
Thanks for any input - Tfp
