Benchmarks of FastATA 1200 MK-III


Transfer rates of the 250GB hard drive were measured using DriveSpeed ver. 1.7 and SCSIspeed ver. 4.2.

All benchmarks of FastATA MK-III were made with ATA3.driver ver. 8.8.
All benchmarks of 4xEIDE buffered interface were made with 4xEIDE.driver ver. 4.1.
All benchmarks of A1200 IDE port were made with scsi.device ver. 43.35.

Tested using DriveSpeed ver. 1.7
