Cool! Nothing like Real Proper Testing to prove a point. ;) I'm surprised the difference between 512b and 4k wasn't greater though; I'm sure I've had more spectacular differences in the past. ... and I won't bring up anything about SCSI or IDE at this point. ;) - Jeff -- "I wanted to be Superman, but all I got were these special powers of self-deprecation."
