FLYERHDTOOLS TEST RESULTS, ANNOTATED:

Prepared by Chuck Baker, NewTek Technical Support.

The following are FlyerHDTools reports for some of the drives we
have tested at NewTek, or for which reports have been submitted
to the NewTek BBS.  Your results for a particular make, model,
and firmware may differ from these results.  The inclusion of
test results herein for a particular make and model does not
constitute a recommendation of the drive for Flyer use, nor an
endorsement of the drive or of a particular manufacturer's
products by NewTek.

THE IBM ALLEYCAT 2 Gigabyte Drive:

Test Performed By: Todd Hayes
Test Performed On: 19-Oct-95 10:12:32
Manufacturer/Model: IBM     0664M1H       !
Revision: 7 70
Size: 3933039 Blocks (2.01 GB)

                     READ     WRITE
-----------------   ------   ------
Lowest:              3.66     3.71
Average:             3.91     3.94
Idle Time ±20 ms:   340 ms    280 ms

NOTE: A MegaByte is measured as 1,000,000 bytes to be
      compatible with drive manufacturer specifications.

Cache Parameters:

Second Test of AlleyCat:

Test Performed By: Chuck Baker
Test Performed On: 10-Jan-96 18:09:57
Manufacturer/Model: IBM     0664M1H       !
Revision: 7 70
Size: 3933039 Blocks (2.01 GB)

                     READ     WRITE
-----------------   ------   ------
Lowest:              3.81     2.59
Average:             3.89     3.94
Idle Time ±20 ms:     0 ms    260 ms

NOTE: A MegaByte is measured as 1,000,000 bytes to be
      compatible with drive manufacturer specifications.

The last block that sustained 3.70 MB/s was 0 (0x0)
This would allow 0.00 GB of this 2.01 GB drive (0.0%) to be
used in this mode.

TECH NOTE:  some AlleyCat drives show a lower performance on
the outer (lower-numbered) tracks, just the reverse of most
hard drives.  In this event, should you experience any problems
with playing a clip located first on the drive, it is useful
to record a dummy clip as the first clip on the drive, to
prevent the space from being used by a clip you will actually
use in a project.  Thirty seconds is usually long enough for the
dummy clip.  To be sure of the length required, you could turn
on the menu option for the long form report, which will identify
long block address zone test results.
