Hello,

I do have an Asus P2B-S Mainboard and since a week I have a Maxtor 60 GB
5400 rpm Harddrive (MAXTOR 4K060H3).

I tried the performance of the drive and got some results which are quite
low I think.

hdparm -t /dev/hdc returns

/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.63 seconds = 11.37 MB/sec

What would be a value I can expect from my hardware? And what might result
in higher speeds?

thanks,
thomas
