- WELCOME TO DRIVE ROCKET TEST DATA ACCELERATION SOFTWARE!
-
-
- This demonstration of Drive Rocket (TM) software allows you to see
- if your system would benefit by having Drive Rocket Software
- installed. If your system shows an increase in data transfer rate,
- follow the instructions on the screen below for purchasing the
- retail version of Drive Rocket software for $39.95.
-
-
- HOW TO RUN DRIVE ROCKET SOFTWARE
-
- To run the demo of Drive Rocket, place the Drive Rocket Software
- Demo diskette in A: or B: and type ROCKET and press ENTER.
-
-
- HOW DOES DRIVE ROCKET SOFTWARE WORK?
-
- Drive Rocket software makes use of a technology used in most new
- IDE (AT interface) hard drives called read-and-write-multiple
- mode (also known as multiple block size or MBS). By using this
- technique, overall data transfer rate (measured in kilo-bytes
- per second, Kb/Sec) can be increased up to eighty percent.
-
- This verison of Drive Rocket also has a technology advancement called
- Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics(EIDE). This improves upon the
- existing IDE interface standard. Standard IDE hardware can only
- support drives that run in modes 0-2. Enhanced IDE hardware support
- mode 3 and greater. Typically, a high speed local bus, or PCI
- controller is required to support mode 3 and above.
- Drive Rocket supports controllers with the following chipsets:
- Appian ADI2 VESA Local Bus
- CMD 640x VESA Local Bus
- CMD 640x PCI Local Bus
- OPTi 82C611A VESA Local Bus
- OPTi 82C621A PCI Local Bus
- PCTech RZ1000 PCI Local Bus
-
- The Drive Rocket software demonstration will determine if your hard
- drive(s) support read-and-write-multiple mode. Drive Rocket will
- then run a series of non-destructive benchmarks on all multiple
- block size (MBS) values supported, and I/O sizes from .5K to 64K,
- for three seconds each, to determine which MBS value will give your
- hard drive(s) the best overall data transfer rate. When the
- benchmarks have been completed, a graph showing a before-and-after
- comparison of your hard drive's performance will be displayed.
-
- Drive Rocket software may increase your performance even if the
- drive does not support Multiple Block Size, especially if your
- system BIOS does not support shadowing. If shadowing is not
- enabled, each I/O request is handled by the system ROM BIOS. When
- Drive Rocket Software is installed, its device driver is handling
- each I/O in RAM which is faster then ROM.
