A quick test would be |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
hdparm -tT /dev/hda |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
(or whatever drive you are concerned about.) Greater than 15MB/S is |
| 6 |
almost certainly DMA but good DMA from newer drives should be |
| 7 |
25-50MB/S |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
You can look at the drives parameters using hdparm and reading through |
| 10 |
the man page to understand what all the values mean. |

Hope this helps, |
