dm9 is automatically a 7200rpm model no Qs asked

That&#39;s not what he wants to know, he knows it&#39;s a 7200rpm, he wants to know buffer size, either 8mb cache or 2mb cache [/b][/quote]
ugh...


he needs to benchmark it to find out its relative speed&#33;


its not like its gonna say: on your system this will have an 8.9ms seek time. i mean hell if they could do that with every system then they can just as well make cpu current testors with duracell wrappers&#33;




oh wait they can already do that

he doesnt want to know any speeds he wants to know how big the cache is, 8mb or 2mb. one drive is 2mb, one is 8mb. one is broken, he doesnt know if teh 8mb one or the 2mb one is broken.

jon, download aida 32, then look at teh info on your working hard drive, and it will say somewhere the size of the cache.

for this Jonathan, refer to one of my previous posts in this thread, I gave you a link to Aida32 and also told you where to look B)
Cheers

a good way of testin&#39; the speeds m8 ,open nero ,file ,preferences ,cache,

test speed button....

Thanks everyone that program really helped me B)

both of them are 120 and 7200RPM one of them doesnt work, i want to know which is the one that is working, the 8mb or 2mb.

Okay...indulge me here.
Two HDDs, one works and the other doesn&#39;t.
What possible difference would the size of the cache make?
In fact, how difficult can it be to determine which drive is faulty?

This is a very confusing thread....

one drive is broken, he&#39;s not sure if the drive with the 8mb cahce or the one with the 2mb cache is broken...

Rossco,
I still don&#39;t see the dilemma...which one can he access, read/write to?
Wouldn&#39;t that be the "good" one?
To me, this sounds equivalent to " One of my legs is broken, how can I tell which one?"
What am I missing here?

Don&#39;t walk on your broken leg, clocker. Use your good one.

But I would prefer to us the one with the big cache...er, I mean calf....oh nevermind.

Perhaps some caffeine will make this topic clearer....
