thought these settings might save somebody some time when setting up
this drive (7200rpm travelstar)
hdparm -v /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 1 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 1 (on)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 117210240, start = 0
hdparm -c 1 -d 1 -m 1 -u 1 /dev/hda
which yields these results
hdparm -T /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1416 MB in 2.00 seconds = 706.34 MB/sec
hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 112 MB in 3.03 seconds = 36.93 MB/sec
pretty satisfactory imo
