Subject: ahci performance problem? (much slower than sil24)
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:29:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000a01c8a4e1$7c9a6830$0a01a8c0@kylecea1512a3f> (raw)

Hi,

I've built a new machine with Intel Desktop Board DQ35JO, Intel E2160 CPU, 
and 8 x Seagate ST3500320AS 500MB SATA harddisks. 6 of the 8 harddisks are 
connected to the motherboard's SATA ports, while the remaining 2 are 
connected to a 2 ports PCI-E card with sil24.

kernel is 2.6.24.5, have tried fedora kernel 2.6.23.1-42 and 2.6.24.4-64, 
all give the same result.

sda,b,c .... to sdf are running ahci driver, sdg and sdh are running sil24 
driver

hdparm -t /dev/sd{a-f} give around 45-46MB/sec
hdparm -t /dev/sdg and sdh give over 105MB/sec

had updated to latest BIOS, no change in hdparm test b4/after update.
hdparm -i:

[root@localhost boot]# hdparm -i /dev/sda
