SATA Drive Performance Problems
I have recently upgraded to a SATA HD and I've noticed that in one
situation, it's a lot slower than my IDE drive was. It's when I'm burning multiple DVD's (using Nero) at the same time from files on the HD. With my IDE drive, there wasn't any noticeable difference in duration between burning 2 DVD's simulatenously or just 1 DVD, but with the SATA drive it seems to take twice as long when I'm doing 2 DVD's at the same time. My DVD writers are on separate IDE buses so there's no conflict between them. Any ideas why the difference in duration with the SATA drive? |

SATA Drive Performance Problems
OS is Windows XP SP2.
In Nero I notice that the "Used Read Buffer" fluctuates from 0 to 100% when I am burning 2 DVD's, whereas it's constantly around 100% when only doing 1. It's as if trying to read 2 sets of DVD files from the SATA drive blocks things up, whereas the IDE drive seemed to cope with it fine. Someone mentioned that it might be the PCI bus that's being flooded, but the SATA drive wouldn't use that, would it? The motherboard is an ASUS P5GD1-VM. |
