From: Josep M. on 30 Jun 2010 14:50 Hello. I have a SATA HD, installed as SATA HD (not as ide in motherboard) and Debian squeeze detects me this as IDE. What can I do for change his?

Technically speaking, SATA is only a Serial variant of ATA (which normally runs in parallel, hence PATA). Even though the drive may show up as a general ATA device that seems to be the norm (also for the fact that the kernel did put the drive in /dev/sda as opposed to /dev/hda) everything looks good though. If anyone has a second opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

From: Josep M. on 30 Jun 2010 15:20 Hello Amrit The performance of this HD is very poor,my old computer, SATA1, was much more fast than this SATA2 so, I'm looking how increase the performance of this computer.

This 1.5TB Seagate ST31500541AS drive spins at 5900 rpm. Was your old drive a 7200 rpm model? If so, that would explain the performance drop. The old drive will probably be faster across the board with random I/O. The new drive will likely stream sequential I/O a bit faster. Given that the bulk of most workstation/desktop I/O is random, the drive with the faster spindle speed will have better performance, even if it is older. For example, as a test, slap a used U320 SCSI card and a 5 year old 73GB 15,000 rpm Seagate or IBM U320 SCSI disk into your current workstation and you'll see it run circles around _any_ brand new 750-2TB SATA drive. It'll be twice as fast or more with random I/O pretty much across the board, and will still be competitive WRT streaming I/O. When it comes to mechanical disk performance, there is no substitute for spindle speed. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
