SATAII 4 times slower than SATA150?
In my SuSE 9.3 box I have a - Hitachi T7K250 SATAII harddrive - Samsung SP1614C SATA150 harddrive - ASUS A7N8X motherboard (with Silicon Image 3112A bios version 4.2.27) The problem is that the Hitachi drive is 4 times slower to write to than the Samsung drive - leaving the Hitachi drive unusable for capture of video from my camcorder because of too many dropped frames. Anyone know of a fix for this? Or another good place to post the problem? Thank you very much in advance.

Wish I could help. I know that the Hitachi isn't as fast as the Seagate. By the published specs., it should perform better. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft.

Thanks for the reply. SATA150 is the original standard and 150Mb/sec. SATAII is the new one, 300 MB/sec, supposedly backward compatible with SATA150 but maybe not that compatible or maybe still too new. I'm thinking that maybe a more recent motherboard would fix the problem. Or maybe a more recent kernel. But I haven't gotten any clues from using Google. Claus On Friday 10 June 2005 14:42, Fred A.
