sysspeed bench on PCMCIAtoCFCard

[lionstorm]

Hi all,
I bought a PCMCIAtoCFCard from Amigakit and wanted to make a bench of the drive using sysspeed 2.6.
the bench "drive" is running fine except that it returns no value for RawRead ?? anyone knows why ?

When I find my CF card and adapter I'll have a go myself. I've been looking for it today and yesterday and haven't found it yet.

I get the exact same result as you with SysSpeed....

All the results appear except for RawRead where I get a "----" instead of the result.
One possible explanation is that SysSpeed may be assuming scsi.device for CF0:, which is wrong because CF cards use compactflash.device. That's just a guess though, and I'd be suprised if it's true. If you have a fresh installation with no fragmentation, then the ReadFile result will be pretty close to the RawRead. ReadFile on mine is 2.37 MB/s on CF0:.

With SysInfo I get 3,276,800 bytes/s raw read on CF0:.

Do you have RSCP? That can also test Raw Read speed, and it has a reputation for being accurate:

With RSCP, I get 2426 K/s raw read on CF0:. Bear in mind though you'll have to change "scsi.device" to "compactflash.device" on the main screen for it to work on CF cards.

thx for cross checking this and also for the tip about RSCP.
I might use this tool for comparing speed between devices.
