I did some measurements on my big HD, and it appears the fastest tracks are around 1/3 of the way.
From outside or inside ??
Who knows? :-) I assume it is from the outside, but in fact we can't really know how the manufacturer distributes the lba to h,t, & s translation. What I did was partition the new hd in 20 or 30 partitions, roughly equal size, and test them all in sequence with hdparm. Then I organized my real partitions based on the results :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
