Slow hard disk speed T42p

[maku]

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

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 "
