mdg Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz, 2 Gb Ram and 120 Gb 5,400 RPM SATA drive in the laptop. When I run Xbench the scores are slower on my Hackintosh (and I've built 3 now) Core 2 Duo E6400 OC'd to 2.67 Ghz, 2 Gb Ram, 750 Gb Seagate 7200.10 SATA drive. I also have 2 other comparable Hackintoshes and all of their hard disk scores are slower than my MacBook Pro. I also have a DP 1 Ghz G4, with a 750 Gb ATA133 HD, and the HD scores on that are faster than my Hackintoshes. I've also looked at the HD scores of other Hackintoshes, and they are also slower. Are our SATA HD's on our Hackintoshes really running in UltraDMA Mode 6??? Any thoughts, or any way to "really" tell?? /mdg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34611-how-come-hard-disk-benchmarks-are-so-much-slower-on-the-hackintosh-versus-real-apple-pcs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zam Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 For some reason, the Seagate 7200.10-series gives very poor results in xbench. AFAIK this goes for real Apple computers also. So there is something wrong with either Seagate or Xbench, but no Hackintosh.
