Raptor 36gb WD slow read time?

iMacMart · 16 Jul 2006 at 09:01

I have the above drive and ran HDtune and my read time was 10ms

I have looked at the spec on the NET and it should be 4ms, is my drive naffed do you think?

Seems slow on boot tbh :rolleyes:

HDtune says the same thing about my 36GB Raptor so I wouldn't worry about it.

When you benchmark a HDD, you'll rarely see it hit anywhere near what the specs say.

Best thing to do is, compare with someone else who has the same drive.

Ok will do

Just not that happy with it, my Maxtor 120gb Sata drive seems faster on the boot-up and this feels slugish

I may just put my OS/Office/Games on it and leave the rest to the Maxtor!!

Thanks

10ms sounds fine imo maybe a tad high, i got 9.4 etc on mine when i had it

try a defrag should speed it up a bit
