By the way what is the fastest SATA disk available ? Thanks in advance Best regards Cyril Presumingly averige seek time is what gives the most of the speed issues, but I see that mentioned 16 meg buffer size quite significant. I just happened to install new 2,5" 60 Gb Toshiba into my Powerbook and it has 16 meg buffer chipset. Noticed some speed increase, and putting weight on "some" ; ) Could it be Seagate SATA models, perhaps.? Regards, Petri -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
