It might be becuase you don't have the disk test duty cycle set to 100%. Or it might becuase there are other tests running on the system at the same time, and from time to time the disk test thread is delayed.

HDD transfer rate thoughts please
Hey folks, Just wondering about a server i'm currently testing here.
Basic specs are as:
ASUS MoBO
Dual Xeon 2.4
8GB 266mhz DDR
64mb ATI
Drive system:
Adaptec 2120 Raid card
4X Seagate U320 32gb drives in Raid 5 config.
Everything is insulated and vented as best as can be done.
I have set the "slow drive threshold" to 0.5mb/sec which I thought would have been a walk in the park for this system.
Every cycle reports an undrespeed error with the speed being recorded at an average of 0.38mb/s. IMHO if this is the case it would seam I have a nasty drive latency problem.
I guess I'm looking for some other ideas or opinions as i'm a tad concerned.
thanks guys.
