Do you believe a larger cache helps with large file reads and writes? For reads it is no help, and for writes, it's really not much help either. It helps for smaller file writes...for sure. Imaging files are typically very large, and speed is mostly limited by drive media transfer rate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
