- Others have written results for ordinary 386s with plain IDE disk
- in the range of 200-500 kB/s. I tried it at my home PC and I got
- similar results.
-
- However, I always thought that those VAX/VMS machines at work were
- awfully slow. So I tried iozone there too. It compiled without a
- glitch, and gave results in various machines (workstations up to
- large VAX-6410s) with various disks (RA type, RF type, other)
- results in the range 15-40 kB/s.
-
- What does this mean: Are the disks really that slow? Is the VMS
- version of iozone different? Is the OS that significant?
-
- Since this threads seems to acknowledge the presence of people
- knowledgeable on hard disk, I thought I might as well ask this.
