LaCie Performance
Authored by: Barium on Feb 15, '02 01:43:44PM

Hi,
first of all thanks for the tips ... they came just right ... a few days befor I got my LaCie 120GB Firewire HD (it seems that they use Maxtor dirves for that one). I use mostly OSX and I was now aware of the possible problems. Luckily the drive wasn't formatted so I had to use the OSX drive utility anyway.

I booted into OS9 to make some performance tests with the Tool found on the LaCie CD (I used the OS9 Apple FW drivers by the way).
Sustained read: approx. 30 MB/s as expected
Sustained write. approx 14 MB/s ???

The write results were quite suprising so I wanted to ask if some other users made the same experience ... they should be somewhere in the area of 25 MB/s ...


Regards
Aleksandar

I'll be receiving a 60GB FireWire Lacie drive myself in a couple of days and would just like to ask:

-After booting from the CD that comes with it, and confirming it's got the right firmware, which CD that came with my iBook should I use to format and partition the drive?

That'd be it,
Simon
