I recently was running some disk drive benchmarks using disktimer II, V1.0
and got the following:

             HD20SC       Wren Runner       Quantum 40      
             (external)     (external)       (internal)

Reads          97             16                31
Writes         96             16                29
Access         33              5                 0


misc info  Seagate 225N   CDC 94181-15        P40S V9.6
                           V. 7980
Note that Reads is time for 100 24kb reads in deciseconds, Writes is 
similar for write times, Access is time for 80 1kb seeks.

Misc Info is as reported by SCSI probe V2

Configuration MacIIci, 8 meg, cache off, no appletalk

Now, that Quantum access is fast, don't you think?

Can anyone make some suggestions as to why the seek times seem to be
somewhat off?


Thanks!
