pro1driver Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 your best bet would be to open up the pc, try to get a physical good look at the label on the drive itself. its possible that from the time the drive was first produced, to the time it was installed in your pc, there were spec's updates at the manufacturer's end, and possibly the web site doesn't relate this info. mid-year, or end of year changes happen all the time in any industry. it could also be a great possibility that EVEREST is wrong, afterall, no "free" program is ever 100% accurate, heck, not even "paid for" programs are 100% accurate either.

Aluvus Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 I would say Everest just read the RPMs wrong.Also, thank you for posting the Everest data dump as a text file attachment, instead of in the post text. Much easier on the eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I am not sure it reads 10,000 since I don't have one of those drives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CataclysmCow Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I'm guessing you have a pre-assembled computer? Companies like Dell, Compaq/HP, Gateway, etc. often get specialized versions of hardware for use in their machines. It's not uncommon to find a piece of hardware in your machine that doesn't match with the specs on the manf's site. I think a recent one was where Dell got their hands on some early 7200.8 Seagate's with 16MB caches. Diagnostic software, Seagate's website and Dell's specs didn't all line up.
