But I'm striping only my SCSI drives, and I'm not using OSX. I've been striping my SCSI drives since I was using a IIci, back when a NuBus JackHammer was pretty exciting and RAID Toolkit 1.8 even more so. :-) I got almost 10 MB/s out of my RAID back then. It's more of a habit than a real need. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
