Poor SATA performance, Seagate 160 GB on Neo2-S ?

Hi there,
I changed my drive. The old one is WD 80GB JB series, and I got the 29000-30000 results in SiSoft Sandra 2004Cnet ed.
Now I have Seagate 160 SATA, I got the 22500 result in Sandra.
My board is MSI Neo2-S (6728-010)
865PE..op.sys. XP PRO,
Kingston 256/400 x 2 Dual Channel
What's wrong with it? Should I back my old drive ?
Is there any software/patch/driver to work fast more ?
Or SATA is better on in Raid0, if you using single drive SATA is a good choice or not ?
Is that the problem because of Intel ICH5 chipset, If I will use Neo2-FISR2 the performance or better or not?
Thank you.

Thank you, that's good article. I got your point. But how can you explain The Seagate SATA 80GB disk got 30000 score on Epox8RDA3 ?
Actually if you look at the Sandra referance scores, you can see the SATA120 has approximately 29-30k scores ?
I just want to know ? Is the responsable for that ICH5 ?
Best Regards.

  • Poor SATA Performance out of K8n Neo Plat and Raptor drive

    I have a k8N Neo platinum with a new Raptor drive. Is there any reason why, when I set the command queueing option for the drive, my speed test under the device manager for that channel says I am getting a normal speed of 5 and a burst of 5.5? I should be getting 50+ with this drive.
    Any thoughts? I have all the latest drivers.

    kweckstrom - the reason is this:
    There is currently no hardware support for NCQ on Nforce 3 boards - NVidia have only just managed to add it for the NForce4 boards as you know which aint available as yet.
    NCQ is running in software mode - hence the reduction of performance - I have the same problem - its a case of deciding if you really need it or not - if you do allot of multi-tasking then its worthwhile otherwise if like me you just game - then its not required.

  • [SOLVED] Poor 2D performance of Radeon 7200 with newest xf86-video-ati

    Today arrived new version (6.12.99) of ATI OSS driver (also new version of ati-dri 7.6, mesa 7.6 and xorg-server 1.7.1) Since that moment I'm experiencing poor 2D performance, especially in GIMP (scrooling of zoomed canvas). Also switching of virt. desktop where is bloated Java app. or fat Firefox instance result in poor render of screen (program renders by parts/semiwindows).

  • Compaq 8510w, poor SSD performance

    Something seems to be limiting my read performance with a SSD installed.  Running Windows 7 (64-bit), with the latest BIOS, Intel Driver INF and SSD Toolbox (for TRIM).  Drive is Intel X25-M G2 80GB, spec-ed at ~250MB/s for sequential writes.  Benchmarks tested include HD Tune, HD Tach, ATTO, Datamarck and DiskMark.  All show around 55MB/s sequential read with W7 resource monitor confirming that throughput.
    I have found articles online describing "poor SSD" performance due to either running SATA-I vs. SATA-II or AHCI vs. IDE.  The drive is running IDE (UDMA-5) and SATA-II.  What is described as poor performance is 225MB/s for IDE vs. UHCI and 175MB/s for SATA-I vs. SATA-II.  No where near the performance I see.
    I have also run across posts mentioning that the 8510w utilizes a bridge for IDE to SATA.  If this is the case, the bridge could be the culprit.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    Hi doasc,
    I just re-imaged my 8510w to Windows 7 onto a Kingston SSDNow V Series 128 GB drive.
    I was quite silly and did not run HD Tune before enabling the employer mandated McAfee Endpoint Encryption whole disk encryption.
    I get 60MB/sec in HD Tune with the disk encrypted - and you are likely quite correct about getting better results without disk encryption enabled and I wish I had tested it that way first.

  • P35 PLATINUM sata performance issue.

    p35 plat
    c2d 6850
    2 x maxtor 200 gig sata 2 drives
    1 seagate 320 gig sata 2 drive
    4 gig 1066 mem
    winxp32 sp 2
    Hi all, I'm on my second p35 as my first one died due to a duff mem slot and I think this ones developed a fault to. Up until about 3 weeks ago the board and 3 individual sata 2 drives have performed flawlessly but then while burning a dvd with nero the buffer emptied and the disk failed. I also noticed that winrar extraction of dvdr in .rar format that normally takes 1min 25 secs to unrar to a drive was taking as long as 4 minutes if not more.
       The normal sata performance seems to have halved for no apparent reason, hdd tach was reporting problems with 2 drives but these have now disappeared. It seems like there is a problem but I cant pin it down to one specific thing because the system runs fine other than that. No crashes, bosd's or anything else; just really crap hdd drive performance when transferring files and and unraring file between the drives.I'm even seeing cyclic redundancy errors from my hdd when transferring files. I have just tried encoding a dvd image [ on 1 drive to another ] using dvdshrink and where in the past I would see 40,000kbs speed now it crawled along at 19,000.
      So is my sata contoller on the board broken/failing and how can I test it to prove it? Thanks in advance people.

    The system ran fine for weeks with no probs. Same psu no change [ enermax is not a cheap generic psu plus its a carry over from my old sytem that ran 2 7800 gtx's in sli with the same hdd's]. I find it hard to believe that sustained data transfer between drives would be a psu issue all of a sudden. Burning a dvd to disk would not be an excessive power drain, that was the first time the fault maifested itself. Also that was the only thing happening at the time. Im not a multi tasker, one thing at a time. I do appreciate you guys throwing idea's my way. I'm hedging towards an intermitent hdd problem but as its not all the time its going to be a bugger to pin down as which drive it is. I would love it to be as simple as a dodgey hdd as otherwise how do you recreate a sata controller issue when faulting a mobo

  • I have recently upgraded my ipad mini to iOS 6.0.2 and still have poor wifi performance. My 3rd generation ipad works great on the same network. I have done all the resets I can think of but nothing helps. I would not have purchased the mini had I known.

    On the same wifi network, third generation ipad, iphone4s and MacBook Pro work just fine.  The ipad mini often can not connect with the mail server and seems to hang a long time trying to open a web page. Had I known the mini had this kind of difficulty on wifi, I would have reconsidered my purchase. I have tried resetting the network and renewing the lease on the mini in addition. To completing the most current iOS upgrade. Still poor wifi performance. Unacceptable, in my opinion.

    Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work.  Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
    Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
    Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

  • Poor Bluetooth performance with all aluminum Mac Pro

    The all aluminum case for pre-mavericks Mac Pro is the primary reason for poor antenna performance of Bluetooth. Aluminum, being a good conductor, acts as a reflector of EMF forming what is known as a Faraday Cage, essentially trapping emissions within the box. Normally, holes drilled in the case would allow enough EMF to pass through the case but the hole size for transmission is directly proportional to the lowest frequency that will pass through easily. An example is the typical microwave oven where the window is actually a conducting sheet with small enough hole such that higher freq light waves pass easily through the sheet but lower frequency microwaves do not. Perhaps if the drive bay covers were made of plastic, transmission of the Bluetooth and wifi would be sufficient. One might carefully nibble a slot or two in the side door but this would surely invalidate any warranty and care would have to be taken not to get aluminum particles inside the computer. This would probably nullify any FCC approval of the machine due to clocking noise interference with other devices. The best approach would probably be a tuned waveguide that passes frequencies only around 2.4 GHz ~ 5 GHz through the case (very similar to the way tuned ports on audio speakers pass a band of frequencies needed to extend bass response). I'm sure Apple will have corrected this design flaw in the new Mac Pro introduced this year. If you have lots of time on your hands you can get a college level text on electromagnetics (Maxwell's Equations, etc.) and derive all the details but with a bit of experimenting and reading about tin can antenna mods to wireless routers you should be able to improve Bluetooth performance significantly.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  I will have to move my wireless home base station.  It is on the same desk as my mini so much less than 5 feet away. 

  • Poor 3G performance from Hutchinson 3 Service Provide at HK

    any Hong Kong 3G iphone users experiencing poor 3G performance on Hutchinson 3 network? test my 3G iphone against original EDGE iphone at same spot on office floor, browsing to www.yahoo.com and the performance was marginally quicker than EDGE. after calling our service provide, being told that we were capped on network bandwidth of 7.2mbps but the real speed testing was around 0.3mbps.... this is unacceptable performance.
    Apple - please speak to vendor, this is making your product look BAD.

    I bought 2 iPhone 4S models on the first day. One for my wife and one for me. The strange thing was that mine would kill the battery in 4-6 hours and ran VERY WARM to the touch. My wife's phone worked great. It was cold to the touch. She would forget to charge it at night... and the battery performance was great... even better than our prior 3GS models.
    What was the difference? I have my phone connected to Exchange for my corporate email. But exchange is not exactly the problem. The issue is in Notification Center. For some reason, I had hundreds of calendar reminders that kept refreshing on notification center. Furthermore, the reminders would flicker between the time remaining and the start time for the event at such a fast rate that it could not be read... (clearly a bug)
    What is the solution? Go to Settings>Notifications>Calendar and disable Notification Center. You can still have the "alert style" set to Banners, or Alerts and you will still receive notices about your events, but it will not BUILD a summary in the Notification Center drop down screen. This is where the BUG exists. [Oddly, this does not affect my iPad 2, but is an issue for iOS 5 on the iPhone (different builds, maybe?)]
    So, it appears that Notification Center has an endless loop in collecting the calendar events from Exchange and this is burning up our 4S batteries. Once you stop the madness from Notification Center, your iPhone 4S will perform as advertised.
    Enjoy!

  • Satellite Pro S500-11C - poor audio performance

    Hi Folks,
    I have a Satellite Pro S500-11C which suffers from the poor audio performance mentioned in reviews of the S500-11C (yeah I should have *+listened+* to the reviews and excuse the pun).
    This is making it very difficult to use this laptop for audio applications such as music, VOIP and Skype without having to carry about a heaeset of some type.
    Has anyone else eperianced this problem and had a solution. Any help from Toshiba??
    Best Regards,
    Andrew

    Sorry but what kind of problem do you mean exactly? Is the sound not loud enough or what?
    I mean this notebook has standard stereo speakers and not high end harman/kardon speakers inside.
    I have Satellite L300 in front of me with same stereo speakers. Sound is OK but not so good as on other laptops with h/K speakers.
    By the way: what kind of help do you expect? Some new driver that makes speakers louder maybe?

  • BI Statistics Highly Aggregated cube 0TCT_CA1 poor load performance

    BI Statistics Highly Aggregated cube 0TCT_CA1 load ffrom DataSource 0TCT_DSA1 has very poor load performance.
    In our DEV BW, it ran 8 min for 12,000 records. We have even worse performance in test box.
    Initial loads then run very long since DataSource 0TCT_DSA1 does not allow us to load by calendar month.
    If you have seen this issue, please let me know.

    Compressing the cube would not help, since the cube is empty & we are trying to load 90 days of history.
    The source table has an index on the timestamp field that the extractor uses in it's delta loads.
    The loads run very slow, even with index dropped & no PSA.
    We know that in production there will be appx rows 400,000 loaded 14,400 added with daily delta loads due to aggregation.
    So we are seeing slow delta loads in our QA testing.
    Not sure why the extractor can't just deliver the 14K aggregated rows vs. 400K.
    Note: DS 0TCT_DSA1 has no selction criteria when doing initial full loads.

  • Very poor network performance with a G4

    I have a white & grey G4 (1.25GHz and 256MB) running OS X 10.4.5. It's exhibiting very poor network performance, e.g. it will not FTP files over a LAN at more than about 40KB/second.
    Other nodes on the same switch perform fine, as do other ports on the switch. The machine is set to autodetect for speed & duplex, so my question is -- how do I debug this? I've tried swapping network cables already...
    Thanks!
    Chris

    This came down to an incompatibility between the G4 and the Cisco. When the switch is set to force 100Mbit but negotiate duplex, the G4 doesn't like it. Going back to auto speed & duplex fixed the problem...

  • Poor graphics performance.

    Hi.
    Include your product name and specs such as processor speed, memory, and storage capacity. Please do not include your Serial Number, IMEI, MEID, or other personal information.
    Macbook Pro retina (early 2013)
    2.7 GHz Intel Core I7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    512 GB SSD
    Provide the version numbers of your operating system and relevant applications, for example "iOS 6.0.3" or "iPhoto 9.1.2".
    OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
    Describe the problem, and include any details about what seems to cause it.
    My rMBP has poor graphical performance compared to other rMBP. I think there might be something wrong inside it. Appstore or Steam games for Mac  (Bioshock Inf and Max Payne 3) at lowest graphical settings will give me between 5-10FPS. I think this might be weird for such a well specced computer.
    List any troubleshooting steps you've already tried, or temporary fixes you've discovered.
    Formatting, bootcamp with Win7, Updating to mavericks, stopping apps, Reset SMC.
    Nothing has worked yet. I don't play games often, but since i first started trying a few times last year, i've noticed that it's almost impossible,

    You should be getting more FPS. Do you have switched graphic card option on or off in the energy saving section?

  • Poor graphics performance over time

    I've seen an issue ever since upgrading to Lion where after some period of time (haven't nailed down how long, but measured in hours) 3D game performance suffers greatly (60+fps down to 12fps).  Rebooting fixes the issue until it sits long enough.
    The drop doesn't seem to happen mid-game... only after leaving for a while and returning to the computer.   I've run all the usual diagnostics.  The iMac does not "sleep" during that time (i have it set to always on).  During the performance slow down, all system stats look normal: no spikes in CPU usage, memory usage, etc.  All internal temperatures report out normal as well.   No other hardware or software changes other than the Lion upgrade.  When the FPS slow down is occuring, all system animations also suffer (sliding in Dashboard, Dock magnification, etc).   Quit the game and the system animations come back to full speed.
    The game I play most often's technical support is worthless (i'm looking at you Blizzard), so I'm hoping someone else has run in to this issue, or that an actual support person can help without telling me to run a permissions check. 
    Thanks!

    I just bought this MacBook Pro the 26th and it came with Leopard. After installing XP on the system, I can't get over the fact of the poor graphics performance. Even moving windows would result in a bad frame rate. Obviously, this is caused by a lack of "good" drivers for the GeForce 8600M GT. The drivers from Nvidia aren't working, so either this is the best of Windows I'm getting on this system or there's some sort of driver that I haven't heard of. Does anyone have any insight on this?
    First off... Congrats on buying a MBP!

  • Poor Network Performance from VPN sites

    We are experiencing poor network performance when connecting from hardware VPN sites. VPN sites have Cisco Hardware VPN client 3002 which terminates to Cisco 3005 VPN concentrator. Geting upload/download speeds of 355/484kbsp from VPN to surewest.com. If I remove the VPN and connect laptop directly to dsl modem, speeds are 3mb up and 1mb down. Any ideas what could be causing this?
