Hello,<br />
I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with a western digital 40 gig. hard drive# 400BB,7200 rpm. --- and I changed it with a Seagate 50 gig. SCSI &nbsp;SX150176LC 7200 rpm. With Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW/2940D PCI SCSI Controller. &nbsp;Both drives have Cluster size 4 KB. And I ran a performance test from passmark software &nbsp;version 5.0 on both drives. The Seagate runs much slower. This is my first SCSI drive. The disk sequential write, read and the disk mark is very slow! It should be just as fast or faster then the western digital. Any ideas? Dave

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
