[Ardour-Users] disk not able to keep up with ardour...

[Dan Tepper]

hdparm is not a very accurate measure - it looks like caching is skewing
your results.

run bonnie - make sure your work files exceed available RAM (to avoid
caching affecting the outcome)

if you have 1GB of ram try this...

bonnie -s 1500

and post your results
