Hi, I was wanting to run the equivalent of "hdparm -Tt /dev/hda" except on a SATA hard disk. What is the equivalent command for an SATA drive? I was wanting to see what kind of speed I am getting on the SATA drive. thanks, Jerry

'bonnie++ -f' is probably the quickest and most analogous. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
