slowass Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Kalyway installation that works great with one big issue. Reading big files from harddrive is a pain. Copy from DVD to HDD takes ages (4Gb takes 40min. Unpack something to the same harddrive is awful (4Gb takes 30min). Installation of programs take insane amout of time. Is this something that can be fixed or do we have to live with it since its "hackintosh"? CPU: Intel QuadCore MB: Gigabyte X38-QD6 HDD: Segate SATA Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frizbot Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Check the console.app for messages. It sounds like the SATA controller isn't being recognized, and it's reverting to a slow speed transfer. I'm afraid the only thing I can do is suggest you search the forums, suggest noting the problem with the motherboard in the hardware compatibility lists, and bump this thread. I had this issue on an old laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_doodi Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 So the transfer rate is around 2mb/s. That is slow. Try running xbench and post results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowass Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Mister_doodi: That was almost spot-on. Xbench results: Sequential Read/Write: 2.5MB/sec Random Read/Write: 2.5MB/sec Edit: Changed to another SATA port on the motherboard and now the speed is what Im used to, thanks for leading me to Xbench to see the resluts with my own eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
