argonlazer Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 After a 5 hour ToH installation and painfully slow installations I realised that my HDD was not being used to it's full potential. Looking at the 'Activity Monitor' My peak speed is 380 Kb/s. I'm not really sure how to describe the spec of the Hardrive so i'll copy some information from the System Profiler. SAMSUNG SP1604N: Capacity: 128 GB Model: SAMSUNG SP1604N Revision: TM100-30 Serial Number: S013J10Y459991 Removable Media: No Detachable Drive: No BSD Name: disk0 Protocol: ATA Unit Number: 1 Socket Type: Internal Low Power Polling: No Mac OS 9 Drivers: No Partition Map Type: MBR (Master Boot Record) S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified Volumes: It is an ATA drive and for some reason is only detected as 128GB but I'm not really bothered by that. Hopefully someone will throw some Kexts at me and then I will be on my way perfecting my Hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
