Disk Benchmarks

The following results were obtained using hdparm 6.1[4]

CPU LS1 (PPC) LS2 (MIPSel) HG (PPC) AMD (K6)
Clock Speed 200Mhz 400Mhz 266Mhz 233Mhz

Buffered Disk Reads 30.67 MB/sec 35.16 MB/sec 43.71 MB/sec N/A

Bonnie++ I/O Speeds for Encrypted Drive on HG

Here is a speed comparision using Bonnie++[5] as a diagnostic tool. Fifilein is trying to use AES/DMCrypt and his numbers are in the speed comparision too[6] all numbers are from an HG-LS.
