 Subject: Rates of Drives

Here are my results using "Rate Hard Drive" v.2.04 by ICD.

On the ST:
SQ555 (44Mb external cartridge drive): 506K/s, 32ms
SyJet (1.5Gb external cartridge drive): 1324K/s, 16ms

On the TT030:
Quantum Lighting (540Mb fixed SCSI disk): 1851K/s, 13ms
SyJet: 1481K/s, 14ms (on ACSI port)
SyJet: 1639K/s, 14ms (on SCSI port)

As you can see, data transfer of the SyJet is 12% faster on the TT using the ACSI port, and almost 25% faster when using the SCSI port.

If anyone has a drive other than the ones listed above, please rate them and submit them to this forum (or e-mail me directly). I'd like to add them to a Technical FAQ which I started compiling a few months ago.

This FAQ should make it easier to troubleshoot hardware problems and compare various products when considering an upgrade.
