I fear I'll have to correct that a little. This 13.5 figure seems to be incorrect, in another try it was also shown at the beginning, but then quickly got up to >20. Also, a buddy just told me that this 4k stuff applies only to most recent drives, as old as 5 months or so. When I use parted on the drives, it says (both the old external and my 2 months old internal): Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B So no speedup for me then. :-/ -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Keyboard not connected, press F1 to continue.
