I've been getting some strange results when I run benchmarks on one of my Windows 2003 virtual machines. I'm seeing throughput of 350 MB/s on a virtual disk. Only about 260 MB/s faster than the real (host) disk speed.
I've used hdparm -t under Cygwin and HD Tune Pro, and I'm getting similar results. The only thing I can think of is some kind of caching, but the random access scores are sky high too.
Any ideas?
