Achiyan Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 my fastest is my 2nd out of 3 hard drives that i have installed...but oh well, PC still works great Quote
Xernicus Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 That is based on the speed of your hard drive controller, and cache of your hard drive. EDIT: And ofc the available bandwidth of the FSB or HT.Either way, that WEI is a piece of crap and you should use a real benchmark like PCmark or my favorite, NovaBench. That will give you raw data to work with. 1 Quote
Achiyan Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 yeah, i know that Xern. i just thought it was rather funny that i have this "decently awesome" pc and this damn HDD it actually came from my 6-7 year old laptop that broke so i used that HDD after my original PC HDD crashed. now i got the original HDD working and using it is my 2nd out of 3 hard drives. its truly a crappy hard disk Quote
Xernicus Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Ohhhh. I was under the impression that it was new. 6-7 years would be, what... 120gb, 5400RPM maybe 8mb of cache and SATA I? >.< I'd probably kill myself waiting for that.And my experiences/reasons for benchmarking HDDs has always been weird. Always due to some HDD controller issue. I can't tell you how many PCIe hdd controller cards I've had to put in my previous computer(s). At least 3. (hint: don't go with Pegatron manufactured mobos, their Northbridge heat-sinking sucks ) Quote
Achiyan Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 lol you were close, its an 80 gig haha. i upgraded a few components but im in serious need of a Mobo. Asus M4A77TD Pro. nearing 5 years old just like my Phenom II x3 (which is unlocked to an x4 with a little 400Mhz bump in speed. i can go much higher with my new water cooler but i dont want to push it since its been unlocked and overclocked for years now and i dont wanna burn it out. lol) by the end of the year im adding 12 more gigs of ram just for the hell of it, a new Mobo, and whatever happens to be the latest AMD processor at that moment. Edit: and yeah man, after i was forced to use that HDD in order to repair my original HDD, startup time has been a serious b***h lol. but im content cus i never shut it down. just hibernation mode when its time for a rest and occasional shut downs and restarts just to 'refresh' everything.
