Can you Compare/comments my HD speeds
I got the following server with Hivelocity:
Xeon E3-1230
8Gb of ram
2x 500gb SAS 7200rpm
Raid 1 (hardware)
My load is not much : Average: 0.20
I did the following HD test:
"hdparm -tT /dev/sda"
with the following results:
Code:/dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 26650 MB in 2.00 seconds = 13346.95 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 430 MB in 3.01 seconds = 143.06 MB/sec
"dd if=/dev/zero of=output.img bs=8k count=256k"
With the following results:
Code:262144+0 records in 262144+0 records out 2147483648 bytes (2.1 GB) copied, 33.4878 s, 64.1 MB/s
Am i wrong, are those test results average ?
Thanks, Id appreciate you comment or even comprae your results.

For RAID1 that's almost normal. If you want insane speeds, you should get hardware RAID10.
dd isn't a very accurate disk benchmarking tool though (Try an actual benchmarking tool)Last edited by Afterburst-Jack; 03-01-2012 at 03:11 PM.

Is there any way that we know HDD's RPM too?
and why you expect that RAID1 be slow?!
