1 Hi All,
2
3 I recently got a bunch of (old) scsi disks and would like to get the
4 most out of them. They are 7200 18GB scsi disks which hdparm reports up
5 to 18MB/s of transfer rate. (vs 30MB/s on my 5400 80GB laptop drive and
6 24MB/s on a 7200 200GB IDE Drive)
7
8 I'm wondering if there are applications which can be used to tune the
9 disks for better performance?

11 The disks are attached to a Pentium II system.
