Speeding Up Your Hard Drive
To get faster 32-bit file transfer on your hard drive, add the following line to your bootup script:
/etc/init.d/boot.local
hdparm -c3 /dev/hdX*
*where X is your hdd number.
This enables a 32-bit transfer on your hard drive and can improve performance up to 75%.
To test performance use:
hdparm -t -T /dev/hdX*
*where X is your hdd number.
