hey, looking for software to show the transfer rates between my external hdd and my usb sticks. Is there anything that could do this?? thanks :)
 
with my external hdd i get around 12 MB/s, my 2GB usb i get 3 MB/s and with my other 512mb usb i get 5 MB/s :) using Total commander :)
 
using HDtune i get:

FUJITSU 40GB internal HDD:
read: average: 22MB/s :(
Access time: 20ms :-O
Burst Rate: 53MB/s :D

MAXTOR BASICS 500GB external HDD:
read: average 24MB/s
Access time: 13ms
Burst rate: 19.5MB/s

I need a new computer badly :)
 
lol the specs in my sig are rubbish lol, might shuff in an SSD :D

EDIT: now that i've installed HDtune i keep getting a pop up saying Hard drive temperature critical, it says 57 degrees, is that bad????????????????

If you have been thrashing the hard disk with various benchmarks, you can expect it to get hotter. Older hard disks also tend to run hotter. However, imho 57 deg is a bit beyond reasonable even in such circumstances. Can you move the hard disk to another bay with some more clearance around it?

Apologies, should have read the fine print... 57 deg is too high even for a laptop. I had a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 which had the hard disk above the RAM due to which the hard disk was at 55-56 deg at idle and was reaching 60 deg with high activity. That laptop went through three 60GB hard disks before I decided that enough was enough and changed it.

yeh i agree i should upgrade but still can't decide whether to get a good laptop or a good desktop, as i need the performance but laptops will never be as good as desktops in upgrade terms :(
