|  Hi everyone. I have a problem. I've bought a IBM 46,1Gb UDMA-100 harddisk. The problem is that when I benchmark it, it gets the performance of a UDMA-33 harddisk. The benchmark program is SiSoft Sandra. Another thing, I can't upgrade my BIOS. When I run the flash and it is about to verify the ROM it just stops and says it failed to verify EEPROM. Please help me if you can. Regards Steel |

| My IBM ATA100 gets a Disk Transfer Rate of 37.4 MB/sec (Beginning) and 36.4 MB/sec (End) using the WinBench test. That's all you can expect of that Drive on an IDE interface and those numbers are up to IBM specs. http://www6.tomshardware.com/storage/00q3/000821/ Harry [Edited by harrym on 02-09-2001 at 10:55 AM] |

| stesam, try defragmenting your hard drive before you run the benchmark. If you have a very fragmented drive, you will get lower benchmark scores.

| And about the bios flashing problem, try to use the dos program if you're using the windows one.
