 * From: Remy NONNENMACHER <remy@synx.com>

 *      "Cache volume: NetWare volume spanning six drives, 
 *      each with a single 204MB partition"
 * 
 * This means they used stripping and only the beginning of disks (where
 * the media rate is the highest). Hard to beat without a well tuned ccd

Also don't forget that the seek times go way down if you're only
seeking between a few tracks instead of the whole disk. :)
