Hello, I was using Elitegroup KT600-A with Adaptec 29160 and Seagate ST3146855LC. With this setup, hdparm -tT was reporting 115 MB/s. Now, I've upgraded to Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3. The same HBA, the same drive. hdparm -tT reports 85 MB/s. Where should I look? Thanks in advance, -- Baurzhan Ismagulov http://www.kz-easy.com/
