Optimal settings
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2012 4:05 am
I'm on Win 7X64 laptop with 2.5Ghz dual core processor and 4 Gb RAM. I've set up a 512MB ramdisk with Primo and chose SCSI despite the Direct I/O being noted as faster. Then I ran ATTO to check the speeds and got somewhere around peaks of 1800MBps read and 3800 MB/s write speeds. I use it for Opera browser alone, seems to help with hanging on an SSD drive. I trashed it and experimented with Direct I/O type and other settings changes and got about 1/3rd those speeds. Since then, no matter what I try of the many permutations, I cannot create a ramdisk with the original speeds. I tried reinstalling the program and using the defaults where applicable and even that didn't get me back to those speeds. I wonder if someone could run ATTO themselves and report back with their joyous speeds and the settings used to derive them. Thanks all.
