In freebsd-hackers you write: >Nah. In fact for random access the faster drives are slower than the older >4x or 6x drives, because they lose too much time speeding up and slowing >down. Depends on the drive. There are models that start reading at singlespeed. >I wish there was some flag you could set to limit their speed. The Plextor drives have such a feature. You can set the speed with scsi(8). I'll check the scsi command manual on monday for the SET CD SPEED command. -tb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
