I'm helping a friend out on his computer. His Quantum Fireball KA 9.1 gig 7200rpm drive is reading and writing at about 4mb/s. I used Sis SANDRA and Diskspeed, results were consisten. He's running win2k professional with a ntfs partion. One problem I see is that the BIOS reads as UDMA/33 but in win2k it is reading as PIO mode under the device manager. I've seen this hard drive work at faster transfer rates. Any help would be appreciated.
