Floppy disk format performance data.
The following format performance data was derived while operating the
DOS FORMAT command and FormatMaster (FM) on an AST 20mhz 386 running
DOS 5.0. Performance data derived from operations in other machine
and/or DOS environments will differ.
Full format and verification, no label or system transfer:
Command FM DOS DISK
------------------- ---- ---- ----
FORMAT A: /U /F:360 0:35 0:41 360k
FORMAT A: /U 1:10 1:17 1.2M
FORMAT B: /U /F:720 1:22 1:28 720K
FORMAT B: /U 1:25 1:33 1.4M
Note: The "/U" switch is necessary to force a full, verified format
with the DOS 5.0 FORMAT.COM utility.
FM format only:
360K 0:29
1.2M 0:56
720K 1:06
1.4M 1:08
New-Ware has formatted thousands of low-priced bulk diskettes with FM
in the non-verification mode and used these diskettes for product
shipment. The rate of bad disk returns and the rate of diskettes
rejected during the duplication process are vanishingly low. If you
are using quality diskettes and time is of the essence, you can
safely format diskettes without the verification process. Even so,
FM issues a warning during non-verified formatting.
