How did you manage the additional 20MB over mine (20MB+/sec)? Is it just the RPM's or some other kernel compile option or hdparm paramater? Please don't tell me to RTFM. 20MB/sec is the most I could get from all my fine reading and tweaking. Also, I'm curious: anybody there who's managed to get even half of the theoretical UDMA 100?
