Good HDD score

[icallmedan]

Is 669 a good HDD score in PCMark2002?

Anyone have any scores that I can compare? Thanks.

Found this on the PCMarks discussion message board:

5400 rpm ------------------------ 400 - 650
7200 rpm ------------------------ 750 - 1100 (This is much dependant on the manufacturer, age and the size of the drive)
7200 rpm w/8mb. cache -------- 1300 - 1600
7200 rpm (Raid) ----------------- 1200 - 1500
7200 rpm W/8mb (Raid) --------- 1600 - ...

Wow that seems low then, because I have a WD 80Gig SE w/8Mb Cache. I wonder if my computer (the other components ahve anything to do with it)...I am using a different computer than in my signature.

well it depends... your motherboard may only be running at ATA66 or somthing like that cause it to affect your score

It's an Abit BH6, Slot 1 Mobo, but I am using the Abit Slocket converter, to use a 1GHz socket 370 chip in it. Maybe it is ATA66.

I have a Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM hard drive with 8MB cache and my score is 842.

I have 5 WD 80 gig HDD with 8Mb cache and they all score a little over 1100.

ALright...it must just be the mobo or something. When I get my new stuff tomorrow I will test.

With my new system.....1165 for the HDD score....a major increase!
