Really? It must be an ATA thing, since I'm not sure I've ever seen a SCSI drive specs page without them (even Maxtor) http://www.maxtor.com/en/products/scsi/atlas_10k_family/atlas_10k_iv/index.htm "maximum sustained data transfer rate up to 72MB/sec." http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/enterprise/family/0,1086,530,00.html Lists not only sustained transfer rate, but tells you the center and edge platter speed range http://ssddom01.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/966AE18147C20C8587256BF100656F41/$file/HGSTUltrastar146Z10.PDF Also lists center/edge sustained speeds -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
