Verification speed

Hey! I have been wondering for quite a while how fast people verify the game when they open it up.
The best I ever got mine was 57.6MB/S
What's you're best?

Verification will, largely, depend on the speed of your persistent storage (generally hard disk). I'm running on a slower laptop HD, and get around 35MB/s.

Traditional hard drives will likely run inside that range, but SSDs (Solid State Drives) will blow any HD away in performance (and price... not in a good way).

I can't tell you what my overall best time was, but I can tell you that when I tested it just now, my number is right in the same ballpark as yours. With the image currently being 3.1G, that makes the entire process take less than a minute. That's good enough for me.

I'm not sure which specs matter, so here's a few I know about mine:
320 GB, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16 MB Cache, 7200 RPM

If it makes any difference, I also keep the drive mostly empty and defragged.

Running the verification 3 more times, I got max speeds of about 55, 48, then 52.

Number 1 would be RPMs - the more turns per minute, the more that passes under the needle.

If kept relatively defraggemented, size would not matter too much (just how long it takes to find the files, and thus start verifying) but the more fragmented it is, the longer it will take to find all the files, thus lowering your Verification MBs/sec

And what type do drive so you have?

Oops, I was going to put a link to it but got distracted and forgot.

My CoH is installed on this SSD.

i have super-high doubts that it is possible to hit 135!

I don't... I should copy my CoH folder to my SSD for a little testing. Currently using it pretty much exclusively for my win7 install (Windows loads really fast <3 ), but there's still 25 gigs free.

EDIT: 330M/sec... But I got that on both solid state and disk drives, so there may be some screwy cache thing going on.

When I first clicked it, it started at 170 mb/s.

I messed with some stuff and got it to go a little faster.

How did you manage that? I can't get better than 180 MB/s, despite verifying from a ramdisk.

On a Solid State (aka no moving parts/platter) Drive, it's possible. Probable, even.

I can confirm speeds in that ballpark on my system using the same SSD... I don't have any screenies and haven't had to verify in the last week but I was roughly in the 130 range.

It's really nice zoning too... I typically have 5-10 second zone times including the server lag.

I was just making sure Gansta_Blade realized why it was possible

You guys are making me wish I had bought an SSD instead of a power supply to support my new (to me anyway) videocard. Of course, an SSD would have been at least twice the price of my power supply, so I guess that SSD will just have to wait the four months until my car payments are done.

Fixed! I put a link!

edit: this was supposed to be edited into a multi-quote with the last post so I didn't double post but I ended up having the dumb and double posting instead. HURRAH!
