Greetings Folks

I've got 2 identical WD120BB drives on my primary IDE channel as
Master and Slave.

However when running benchmarks on them the Master drive has a VERY
noticably lower sustain rate (like 15 compared to 47).

The jumpers have been checked and both are running mode 5.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what the hell is going on here ?

Appreciate any help
 
Depends on heaps of things. If your master drive is C:, then its probably got the memory paging file on it, which maybe being accessed, read from, and written too, while you are doing the test.

What version of Windows are you running, and how much RAM do you have??? Also, what else is running in the background?
