Hi !
I have a question about HDD speeds, becowse it seems the speeds in real life aren't like the ones in the HDD specs. (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm new at this )
I have a WD Raptor 150 GB and when I bought it I looked at it's specs and it sed to work at 1,5 Gp/s ( http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=189 )
Then I begun testing my HDD. I took the HD Tune Benchmark program and begun testing my HDD.
After that I copyed a 700 MB video file from my WD 200GB S-ATA (i use it for storege) to my Raptor and windows estimated about 10 secs. That would make about 70 MB/s speed , so I figured the benchmark is pretty acurate.
So if the speed is aprox 70 MB/s that's about 560 Mb/s (multiplied with 8) , is not as near as 1,5 GB. So the conclusion: are the HDD producers are just making this for the advertising, and therefore lying about hdd speeds or I'm mistakeing in someplace?
P.S. I want to know there are any HDD's that work at 1,0 Gb/s at least becowse I needed it for making a 10/100/1000 LAN network for fast sharing, but what for if the HDD is much slower.I read in newspaper that the british (if i recall corectly) are wanting to raise the speeds of internet to 2 Gbps, so I wonder what kind of HDD will I need then?
Sorry for my english mistakes, not so good at that either
