Hi all, First of all you need to know that I never used a SCSI drive previously and I bought this second hand disk some days ago to experiment on my home webserver :) the HD is an IBM 4giga 5400rpm with a 50 pin connector the card is diamond fireport 40, symbios 53c875 (from what i found on google :) ) Well the installation went well (it was 2 weeks ago) but i didnt notice any change in speed rate... after checking the actual I/O speed I only get 4k at maximum :-/ and most of the time its around 2k... So I google google and google again but I cant get more... I saw a lot of people having bad speed with this driver but those posts were made years ago... I compile my kernel with the following : device sym device scbus device da Should I add any option to this? or is my HD bad(I bought it very cheap :D)? If anybody can help thanks again, have fun!
