THe Quantum fireball drive in this machine is a 4500RPM 12mS drive that can only do about 3MB/s no matter what you hook it to. The Seagate Hawk drives are 5400RPM 9mS drives that can do 5 to 6MB/sec. Your not comparing Apples with Apples!!! Now don't be surprized when you stick the hawk in the PPro 150 and it only goes to 4.5MB/s. The Orion chipset used in all P6 machines has some rather serious problems :-( > Feb 6 14:09:17 test63 /kernel: ahc0 <Adaptec aic7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> r > ev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:2 > Feb 6 14:09:17 test63 /kernel: checksum error > Feb 6 14:09:17 test63 /kernel: ahc0: SEEPROM read failed, using leftover BIOS v > alues > Feb 6 14:09:17 test63 /kernel: ahc0: aic7880 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs > Feb 6 14:09:17 test63 /kernel: (ahc0:0:0): "QUANTUM FIREBALL1080S 1Q09" type 0 > fixed SCSI 2 > Feb 6 14:09:17 test63 /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1042MB (2134305 512 > byte sectors) > > --- > John Soward <a href="http://www.uky.edu/~soward">JpS</a>; > Systems Programmer 'The Midnight sun will burn you up.' > University of Kentucky (NeXT and MIME mail OK) -R.
