The speed of Buddha?

[spihunter]

I have a Buddha in my A2000. I'll test the speed later today and let you know.

 I know its faster then the SCSI II on my GVP 030 board. But that could just be the old 100 mb driv I have on it.

Well It seems that the modern 40 gb hard drive on the Buddha is about 3 times the speed of the old 100 mb scsi drive on my GVP 030 board.

Buddha/40 gb drive:  85 read/writes a second
GVP/100 mb scsi drive  33 read/writes a second

hope that helps

Edit:

I just looked at the specs on one of the amiga hardware sites that said the max transfer rates for each controller were

GVP scsi: 1.2 MB/s
Buddha IDE 3.58 MB/s

I guess that explains my numbers

You must have the AT-bus 2000 if its IDE

@AmigaFF,

I have the Buddha ZII "s" class. Its a Buddha & Catweasel on the same card.

Its really a great card for adding cheap hard drives and PC floppy drives to your Amiga.
