Also, I guess you know that 12-CURRENT is the riskiest one to be testing on. You didn't mention that before :-) Boot from an 11.2-RELEASE CD and see what it has to say. I take what people say about computing equipment and its performance with a pinch of salt. would be surprised that WDs blurb says it's cheap blue series is faster than the enterprise versions, if anything manufacturers said surprised me any more. Gotta link? Regards, Frank.
