Slow Hard Drive on Dell Dim-3000
Posté par Kev255, le Friday February 29, 2008 11:34:39 AMHi, all!
I recently buy a Dell Dimension 3000, with Windows XP Home Edition, and I'm experiencing very slow hard drive performance…
The drive is a Maxtor 80 GB, Ultra DMA 133, 7200 rpm. It runs slower than an ATA-33. I called Dell support, they had me run some utilities, but to them everything is fine, and they won't help me.
Here's what I have tried so far with no results:
- Checked the cable, it is an 80 conductor cable
- Changed the jumper setting on the drive from cable select, to master
- Installed the latest Intel chipset drivers
- Checked the settings in WIndows, it is running DMA-5
- Removed the IDE controller, re-boot, and let it re-install
Has anyone had a similar problem? I do lot of database work, so hard drive performances are very important to me. My last machine was a homebuilt, with an DMA-66 Maxtor, and it was 10 times faster than this…
I would really appreciate some help on this issue…
Thanks in advance

Hello to you too!!
As you have just bought it, i think that Dell could have brought a technician at your place to see what was really wrong, don't you think? |
