Real World speeds are always lower than book rates. Right now I'm testing (with Stormtest) one drive at 42/49 MB/s r/w, another at 66/49, my just-plugged-in esata drive poking along at 3.4/3.4. I'm going to have to reboot to get it up to speed - what a crock.

IIRC, the actual throughput for conventional 7200 SATA II drive is > about 120Mbs, usually less. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
