Slow hard disk speed T42p

#1 Post by maku » Sun Dec 04, 2005 9:03 am

I have a t42 p with 2GHz Processor and 1GB Ram and 80GB 5.400 HD.

In my opinion the HD speed is very slow. (14 MB/s write, 17MB/s read).
Can you comment the speed compared to other thinkpads.

Is there a way to get it faster?


TIA

Martin

what program do you used to measure that?

Run HDTach and post back your results (long bench)

I get:

Random access: 18.2ms
Average read: 29 mb/s
Burst speed: 80.9 mb/s
IBM ThinkPad T42 CTU # Pentium M 1.8 Ghz Dothan # Mobility 9600 64 MB @375/240 # Hynix 1024 MB PC2700 RAM #
Fujitsu 80 GB 5400 RPM # LG CDRW/DVD Combo Drive # Intel Wireless b/g mPCI # TFT 14.1 XGA Display # WinXP Pro SP2 Catalyst 7.7

Thanks, I have nearly the same values.

But sometimes I have a very long delay for example when I work with a "Save As.. "dialog and I select "Save In "
