I have a Seagate ST1144A disk drive drive by an IDE 16-bit 1:1 interleave
controller.  This drive is in a 386-33mhz w/64k cache machine.  The bus is
running at 10mhz.

The drive specifications state that the data transfer rate is something like
1.6mg/sec.  However, running the hard drive benchmarks from within Check-It,
a 594.6K/sec transfer rate is shown.

Does anyone out there known of a reason why I can't seen to get the 1.6mb/sec
or so transfer rates?

Thanks in advance.
