And, my tests were with a Barracuda (2GB, about 45% full), as well. Still, it DID make a big difference for writes. Also, this was under NetBSD, but the results should be very similar: W R BT956c (no TCQ) 1.5 6.1 2940UW (no TCQ) 1.5 5.0 2940UW (TCQ) 4.5 6.4 (On a Pentium 120MHz, 64MB EDO RAM, NetBSD 1.2, narrow 2GB Seagate Barracuda.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
