- Hi Everybody!
-
- We recently purchased a Micropolis 2912 2Gb hard drive
- and installed if for use on our NeXT Cube. I ran a small
- performance tester, and found that the drive is
- absolutely SLOW! Transfer rates for both read and writes
- were about 400 kb/s. The internal HP drive in the cube is up
- around 700 kb/s. Is there something wrong here? Is there
- possibly something wrong in the way the drive is
- configured? The drive has a 14ms seek time...
-
- Thanks!
