I just realized that I ran the test but never followed up on this. The topic came up in another thread, which reminded me. A full scan of my 22k track all Flac library takes about 28:00 on my P4 3.0GHz Win2k3 Server machine with the library on an internal 7200 RPM SATA drive. With the library on an external USB drive (using the same model hard drive in a USB enclosure) the scan took about 28:20. So there's no appreciable difference, which really surprised me. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
