=== ASUS Eee Disk and Drive Benchmarks === This page is intended for all and sundry to list the speed of their disk (and disk-like) devices with any benchmark they like, so we have comparisons. Please note that numbers from different benchmarks are actually not comparable to each other! If possible post ONLY speedtests with the stock processorspeed (630Mhz), and stock RAM (512Mb 667mhz). Preferrably in the xandros default desktop. Please wite out any non-stock settings; to have an as accurate as possible measurement. //eg: * Advanced desktop/eeexubuntu/... * 1/2Gb ram; RAM speed if differs from stockspeed eg:800mhz or pc4200/5300/6400/... * Procesor speed ran in the test: 5xx/630/7xx/8xx/900/1000Mhz // **Note:most of these tests need to be re-taken** **Comment on the above (by eFfeM):**\\ The memory speed (pc4200/5300/6400) does not make any difference as the memory controller will still just drive the memory at the same frequency, irrespective of the speed of the memory itself.\\ Memory size should not make a difference either as the test should be written in such a way that memory size and caching does not matter.\\ Clock speed might make a small difference, but I expect it to be neglectable (this is easily tested).\\ Other things might make a difference (e.g. run as root or run as user, other programs running at the same time, temperature, ...). === A basic test for Linux === hdparm (tests read speeds only - takes seconds)\\ Before installation, install repositories per [[addingxandrosrepos]]\\ Install: sudo apt-get install hdparm Use: sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda1\\ To see your version: sudo hdparm -v (it's at the top - it can be saved to a file with "sudo hdparm -v 2>hdparmhelp.txt" and read with "cat hdparmhelp.txt")\\ Explanation: t /dev/sda1 means test /dev/sda1 (use the "df" command to see what is what) Note: I have noted this sometimes reports a lower value than the majority runs may want to run more than one time to assure consistent- rivethead === An advanced test for Linux === Bonnie++ (tests read, write, CPU %, etc. :\\ Before installation, install repositories per [[addingxandrosrepos]]\\ Install: sudo apt-get install bonnie++ Example: sudo bonnie++ -u user -d "/tmp" -s 100 -r 10 -f -n 0\\ Explanation: d "/tmp" means test the /tmp directory (the ramdisk) (double-quotes required if spaces are in the path) u user means act as user "user" - your regular username! s 100 means use 100MB files. r 10 means tell bonnie++ you only have 10MB of RAM, so it doesn't say you need to use huge files (for the Eee) to get results. f means skip per-character tests - they're rather pointless, and we'd like to avoid excess wear and tear. n 0 means skip the file creation tests, which are CPU bound. Standardization: Use the "block" results Problem: Results of +++++ will be returned if the test size is too small. They recommend test files twice the size of RAM for a reason, to prevent caching from significantly affecting results. Increase the number after -s to handle this. === Internal tmpfs (ramdisk) === ---- ^ Device ^ Read MB/s ^ Write MB/s ^ Benchmark ^ Submitted ^ | 8G's default 1GB RAM | lots | lots |bonnie++ 1.03 can't handle it | Nadrek | | Corsair 1GB DDR2 667 Mhz | 273.27 | n/a |hdparm 7.5 | ju_ | === SD and SDHC cards === (Sorted by descending Read Speed) (Go to [[drivesByName]]) ---- ^ Device ^ Read MB/s ^ Write MB/s ^ Benchmark ^ Submitted ^ | Adata 8GB Class 6 Turbo SDHC | 20.10 | 16.90 | HD Tach RW 3.0.1.0 | eclipse95 | | Patriot Signature 16GB SDHC | 17.20 | N/A | flash memory toolkit 1.2 | denvergeeks | | Kingston 8GB Class6 | 16.22 | n/a | hdparm 7.5 | ShaqArif | | Patriot Signature 2GB SD | 16.09 | n/a | hdparm 7.6 | rmrubin | | Sandisk Extreme III SD 2GB | 15.95 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Nadrek | | TRANSCEND SDHC CLASS 6 4GB | 15.09 | 14,40 | HD Tach RW 3.0.1.0 | eclipse95 | | RiData 1GB 150X Mini-SD (w/ adaptor) | 15.82 | N/A | hdparm 6.9 | rivethead | | Transcend SDHC Class 6 8GB | 15.79 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | arster | | Apacer 4GB Class 6 SDHC | 15.77 | N/A | hdparm 6.9 | vto80 | | Patriot Signature 4GB SDHC | 15.63 | N/A | hdparm 7.5 | Tolarian | | Panasonic 8GB SDHC Gold Class 6 | 15.60 | n/a | hdparm 7.5 | dirks | | A-Data 16GB Class 6 Turbo SDHC | 15.41 | N/A | hdparm 7.5 | mikochu | | Play.com 8GB SDHC Class 4 | 15.40 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | ncmreynolds | | Maxell 2GB SD | 15.30 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | ncmreynolds | | Adata 8GB Class 6 Turbo SDHC | 15.13 | N/A | hdparm 6.9 | eFfeM | | Transcend SDHC Class 2 8GB | 14.97 | n/a | hdparm 6.1 | tcdk | | Sandisk Extreme III SDHC Class 6 4GB | 14.88 | n/a | hdparm 6.1 | tcdk | | Veho 8Gb SDHC Class 6 | 14.75 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | rnem170 | | Transcend 150x 4GB | 14.60 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Emmerson | | Transcend SDHC Class 6 8GB | 14.60 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Eeebahgum | | Adata 4GB Class 6 Turbo SDHC | 14.33 | N/A | hdparm 6.9 | rivethead | | Kingston 8GB Class6 | 14.25 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | golem | | Silicon Power Ultima 512MB | 14.14 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Emmerson | | Patriot Signature 8GB SDHC | 13.73 | N/A | hdparm 6.9 | golem | | Patriot Signature 8GB SDHC | 12.20 | N/A | hdparm 6.9 | Mimizu MAn | | Kingston 2GB SD | 12.13 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | zenkov | | Ultra 2GB SD | 11.73 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | arster | | Casio 1GB SD | 11.57 | n/a | hdparm 7.5 | ju_ | | Dane-Elec 2GB SD | 9.72 | n/a | hdparm 8.6 | mbbout | | Generic 2GB SD | 9.60 | N/A | flash memory toolkit 1.2 | denvergeeks | | SanDisk 2GB SD | 9.44 | n/a | hdparm 7.7 | mastercpp | | Sandisk Ultra II SD 4GB | 9.38 | n/a | hdparm 6.1 | tcdk | | Sandisk Ultra II SD 8GB | 9.21 | 8.27 | flash memory toolkit 1.2 | elmo | | Kingston 2GB MicroSD | 9.15 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | arster | | Sandisk (regular) SD | 9.10 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | dnar | | Sandisk Ultra II SD 2GB | 9.07 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Emmerson | | SanDisk Premier 2GB microSD | 8.99 | n/a | hdparm 7.7 | mastercpp | | Sandisk (regular) MicroSD | 8.94 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Nadrek | | Silicon Power Ultima II 66x 1GB | 8.88 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Emmerson | | Legend 2GB SD | 8.53 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | dnar | | Microcenter Generic 2GB SD | 7.52 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | nick5768 | | Kingmax 256MB | 7.11 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | Emmerson | === MMC, MMC plus and MMC mobile cards === ---- ^ Device ^ Read MB/s ^ Write MB/s ^ Benchmark ^ Submitted ^ | DigiFilm 'High Speed'8-) 512MB MMC | 1.69 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | ncmreynolds | | Kingston 2GB MMC Mobile | 15.49 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | ncmreynolds | | Kingston 1GB MMC Mobile | 15.46 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | ncmreynolds | | Kingston 32MB MMC N-Gage | 1.53 | n/a | hdparm 6.9 | beposanfior | | Sony MMC 128M | 1.45 | n/a | hdparm 7.5 | ju_ | **Be aware that the RSMMC/MMC mobile adapters that clip on and allow you to insert the card into the reader are not very nice and may actually cause it to jam inside, I almost got one stuck.
