HIGH LATENCY ON ASUS MACHINE HARD DRIVE ACCESS was created by NICKKINSMAN
I have a new Asus motherboard runnign EMC2. I get high latency test results whenever I seem to hit the hard drive (during the test, such as opening folders). (extremely high, in the 200,k's) What could be the reason for this and how can I go about fixing it?
Thanks!

What sort of HDD is it?
An EMC2 machine doesn't need much HD. I develop EMC2 on a machine with 8GB. A basic installation to just run a machine can fit in 4GB.
So, you might find that the machine is usable with a flash drive of some sort.
I have heard that some newer boards have problems with latency when running IDE (perhaps it has been moved into software)
So far my SATA DOM SSD has done over a year of several EMC2 compiles every day with no signs of failure. And it was quite cheap.
It is one of these (www.ebay.com/itm/Black-MLC-Flash-DOM-Dis...TA-SSD-/150593568661)

Thanks;
So I asusme you are meaning use this drive as the hard drive for the computer. The computer is dedicated to the machine so I don't have any other need for it. I will check the type of hard drive, I have to pull it out of the control box.
I'm not sure of your reference to IDE, what to do about that?
Thanks!

Well, if it is the problem, you could try not using it.'m not sure of your reference to IDE, what to do about that?!

In answer to the questions;
I have a Barracuda 7200.10 hard drive, 750 GB (WOW!)
It was the drive which came with the machine, would it be just that the size of the HD and accessing it is causing such a high latency?
Comments?
Thanks for getting back to me!

SATA or IDE?

On the hard drive label you should see the interface type . SATA is the newer standard. Uses small compact cables.
IDE (PATA) is the older it uses the wide ribbon cable.
There have been other post suggesting that the older style on some motherboards might be causing the problem.

I finally got around to checking, it is a SATA hard drive. I'm guessing it still must be the problem - as soon as you hear the hard drive in use, the latency numbers jump way up.
