  • Help for hard disk benchmark test

    Hello:

    I recently changed my WD hard disk drive from a 500GB IDE to a 500GB SATA but I think something's wrong with this new drive as Windows XP performance is very low.

    Windows startup is very very slow and basic operations make the disk spin and spin.

    I was looking at all the graphs but I don't understand quite well what they mean.

    My Western Digital hard disk drive model is WDC5000AACS, 500GB, SATA.

    Here are the results from the test:

    Disk-Sequential Read = 86.5 range 0-90
    Disk-Sequential Write = 83.2 range 0-90
    Disk-Random Seek+RW = 2.56 range 0-10
    Disk Mark (This computer) = 623.0 range 0-70
    PassMark Rating (This computer-partial results) = 124.6 range 0-200

    The "List of Hard Drives" table gives me the following results for this particular model:

    Drive Rating 428
    Rank 203

    Can someone help me with these results?

    Thanks,
    Roberto

    Your results are OK. 86 & 83MB/sec for read / write speeds is what I would expect. Or even slightly better than I would expect.

    So the problem might be elsewhere.
