Well it seems that everybody here is crazy to upgrade their CDROM drives to the fastest unit they can get, but i wonder if it makes any sense... I got a 32x ATAPI unit one month ago and there is no way (under -stable) i can get more than 2.2MB/s by dd'ing from the disk. Considering i get 5-6MB/s from a raw IDE disk (and from iozone with large files) on the same machine, i don't think the limiting factor is CPU or the OS. I wonder if anybody is able to exploit the speed of their 24/32/40x IDE or SCSI drives cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
