Hey there, hope alls well.
Have just ran that PC-Pitstop checker over my system (http://www.pcpitstop.com) and have been dismayed by the woeful performance my HDD are giving me.
(i'll not tell you my score for fear of laughter hehe)
I have one 9.1Gb Quantum Atlas III SCSI drive, partitioned into 2 drives, C:\ system drive, about 3 Gb, and D:\ data & installs, about 5.6Gb.
The SCSI HDD is hanging off an Adaptec 2940AU SCSI card.
The results of the PCPitstop tests are:
C:\ Cached speed = 33Mb/Sec (50%)
D:\ Cached speed = 114.37Mb/Sec (173%)
C:\ Uncached speed = 1.19Mb/Sec (48%)
D:\ Uncached speed = 1.77Mb/Sec (72%)
I do not understand why, if they are one and the same physical disk, there is so much performance difference, especially in cached speed.
I have relocated my page file onto D:\.. would this make a difference?
Both my memory and processor speeds both rated 108%, ie slightly better then Pitstops library of similar systems, and I thought cached speed relies mainly on the speed of the processor and memory as opposed to uncached which relies on the speed of the disk?
Can anyone give me any ideas as to maybe what to look for to get a bit better performance out of my SCSI set up?
Thanks!
