    Disappointing SCSI performance

    Hopefully I didn't muddle things by mentioning the termination issue in the same post as the poor SCSI performance-they were not related. The poor SCSI performance was TOTALLY solved by the firmware update on my personal machine. The termination issue was on a customer's machine which I built...

    Disappointing SCSI performance

    I've had a response from Seagate Tech support, and they sent me a new firmware update for the drive, which solved the problem. Thanks to SMAH, who correctly suggested this route right off the bat, but I guess I didn't look hard enough on Seagate's site for the update. And thanks for the other...

    Disappointing SCSI performance

    Actually, I haven't had a chance yet, but I'll try that first, and also look at the benchmarking utilities you suggested. It wouldn't seem that the ID would have anything to do with it, but it's a simple thing to try. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll let you know how I make out.

    Disappointing SCSI performance

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've already sent a note to Seagate-We'll see if they have any response. In the meantime, I'll explore your benchmarking suggestions during the week and see how things stack up. But, there's no denying that even without benchmarking utilities, it's very obvious...

    Disappointing SCSI performance

I Ghosted the old drive over to the new drive, and replaced it in the system. When I saw the performance difference, I took it out and put...

    Disappointing SCSI performance

    Thanks for your response. I checked out both LSI and Seagate's sites for newer firmware. I have the latest for the LSI controller, and there doesn't appear to be any for the drive. (that I saw, anyway)

    Disappointing SCSI performance

    I'm using a Seagate Cheetah 18 gig SCSI U320 15K hard drive in my desktop system (P-4, 2.8, 512 meg ram, Win XP, LSI U320 SCSI controller) and have been very satisfied with the performance. Programs open very fast, everything is nice. I'm running out of space on the hard drive, so I purchased...
