IdeFast's Home Page

I am starting to organise and setup this site so that you can (hopefully) find meaningful information regarding UDMA and UltraSCSI hard drives and the differences between them. Also the best driver to use for your Win95 system, as well as the performance differences between different file systems. I have run benchmarks using various drives, on various controllers. I am primarily interested in doing these tests so that I can make informed decisions when purchasing new storage hardware for myself, as well as recommendations to other people. Please bear with me as I do some more testing and get the results and details up over the next few weeks.

NT4 Software IDE Raid 0 Striping	Does it work? Is it worth it? A comparison of a single IBM DS5 vs two IBM DS5's and the results.
UDMA Results / Fastest Driver	Clever marketing or speed demon? Which driver is the fastest. MS's or Intels
Fat16 vs Fat 32 (Win95)	Which is faster? Which cluster size? Is FAT 32 really slower? additional tests in progress
NTFS vs Fat16 vs FAT32 (NT4)	How much overhead does NT's file system really have? ********NEW********
Ultra SCSI vs UDMA	My first set of results and conclusions on SCSI vs EIDE
Threadmark Results Stripper	A small program I wrote to extract the data out of Threadmark's RPT file and write it to an Excel CSV file.
