disk speed

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Has anyone tested to see how fast they can read a harddisk on winXX, using 
Eu? Or any other windoze version? I just had to clean 40,000 files (166megs) 
off another disk, and zip them, making access times even slower. It's a 2Gig 
partition, and Tiggr is filling it every 6 months, and has been for over 2 years
now. So the question becomes, when will i hit the wall of too much data, that 
Eu takes all day to search the 1/2 million files? Any suggestions, besides a 
massive pre-index of "normal" search parms? This problem has dogged me 
for years, and the only good idea i had for it 8 years ago was one 528meg 
harddrive per motherbd, in a programmable file server rack. Given that cpu 
and ide buss speeds are up, hd access times are down, and i can't get new 
528meg hds anymore, what's a archiver supposed to do?

I am supposed to be adding another 1,000 files, about 8Kbytes size each, 
asap.
