i have a IBm 75x 30g ata 100 wiht 7200 rpm. When i bench mark it with sisoft sandar. i get 18673 witch is almost the same speed as a ata 66 hdd. The bench showed that ata 100 should go up to 24000.

Is the ide connector ata/100?

 

[kvt123]

yes

 

[CivicSiRider]

Is anything slaved on the same cable? Like a cdr or something that runs slower?

Is that ata/100 too. If not maybe thats holding it back. If it is try it w/o that hard drive on there and see what you get.

SiSoft Sandra's results vary so much that it's not even funny after a while...use a benchmark that really tests the hard drive, something like HDTach or something.
Anyway, the hard drive probably works find, it's just Sandra's messed up results have you wondering what's going on...
