Transfer speed of Hard Drives

Transfer speed of Hard Drives

I have 2 pc's at home of a different specs. However both have 160GB Hard Drives that claim to spin at 7200 RPM. I don't know the other stats like cache size.

"If PC1 did the extraction from between two hard drives, this could explain some of the difference.

Apart from the other ideas expressed in this thread, it could be that PC2 is simply slower. The bottleneck could be anywhere, either memory or CPU cache or memory card controller, or hard disk and/or its disk cache and many more.

You should really try this with an uncompressed disk, to have a better idea of where the difference is."
