The test setup:
PhotoFast GMonster 533x Plus Professional CompactFlash 16GB, PF16G533P
Hama 55352 CF FireWire reader, Oxford FW 912 controller
TI TSB82AA2/TSB81BA3 FireWire, TI OHCI 1394 Driver
Read/Write directly from/to the media, no filesystem involved
Read/Write rates taken with a sample size of 4MB, 3820 samples
The test showed an average trasfer rate of 77.23MB/s (527x) read and 57.25MB/s (390x) write.
The test setup:
PhotoFast GMonster 533x Plus Professional CompactFlash 16GB, PF16G533P
CF to SATA adapter with Marvell 88SA8040-TBC1 controller
ICH6R SATA Host
Read/Write directly from/to the media, no filesystem involved
Read/Write rates taken with a sample size of 4MB, 3820 samples
Important note: The CF SATA adapter logs in all UDMA-6 cards at UDMA-5 only, which seems to be the highest supported mode by the adapter. While UDMA-5 should still allow up to 95MB/s, there is already a significant loss in performance with this card.
The test showed an average rate of 68.26MB/s (466x) read and 70.66MB/s (482x) write.
