| Description | Welcome to the world of hard disk performance measurement! Until recently, measuring performance of disk subsystems for the IBM
PC/XT/AT/PS2 and compatibles has been somewhat over simplified by the industry. Now, with the introduction of SST-equipped controllers, contemporary benchmarks are no longer adequate to predict disk subsystem performance in actual everyday use.
Benchmarks for the next generation of mass storage systems for the IBM PC/XT/AT/PS2 and compatibles now require that more variables be taken into account to accurately measure the
throughput a system can achieve. |
