iBryce Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hello, I am getting very poor performance with my hard drive. I ran Xbench and it said: Write: 1.37 MB/sec Read: 1.24 MB/sec Please help I cannot handle this much longer. Installation took 4 hours! My southbridge controller is "SB600."

Espionage724 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 You may want to add your hardware information. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92139-slow-hard-drive-performance/#findComment-677429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensuke Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 EDIT: Yay! Thanks to Zappadoc's kexts, I was able to fix the slow HDD. Booting up is now much faster, I'd say around 20 secs. And I haven't tested any CDs/DVDs, but it detects the drive now. The only thing I'm not sure about is my SATA drive, since I had SATA off when I was testing it. But iBryce, definitely try that one--it was the only one that worked for me, but it worked!

Magicum Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 But I still have troubles with my SB450 and IDE HDD. After Zappadoc's patch it became little better, however still slow. Using 10.5.2 Leopard (Leo4All v2) Full issue description here - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=96336 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92139-slow-hard-drive-performance/#findComment-691622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Qaz Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 If it's a laptop... Then that's most likely somewhat normal. Laptop hard drives are small, and slow. Run a test in windows and see what you get. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/92139-slow-hard-drive-performance/#findComment-700795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
