Time to scan a large hard drive
Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 9:15 pm
I read quite a few threads and I couldn't find the answer.
What is a normal average time to scan a large drive starting at 250GB going forward? I know that it is system specific, but since most systems that were sold have 4GB Ram and a CPU running at 2.5GHz averaginq high-low end systems, what would the time be?
Personally, I have one at each end of the scale. With the fastest an i7 975 @ 3.33GHz w/ 6GB Ram and the slowest being an anchor AMD XP1800+ @ 1.76GHz w/ 768MB Ram( NO laughing! ) It does everything it's used for: eMail, Web, Office(Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access) TV Shows/Movies out to the TV, Basically everything except new games.
The verdict is ....?
Thanks, Erich
