If so, what sort of bandwidth are you seeing from the drive? I can't speak for the double speed Toshi's, since I have a 3301 not the 3401, but I thought folks might be interested to see what a single-speed drive would do by comparison. If you don't get speeds substantially better than this with a double-speed then either something is wrong with the drive, the driver or the controller card and we should look into it.. I'm running off an Adaptec 1742 EISA card.. root@whisker-> dd if=/dev/cd0d of=/dev/null count=5000 5000+0 records in 5000+0 records out 2560000 bytes transferred in 16 secs (160000 bytes/sec) Jordan -- (Jordan K.
