Drives attached to a 9560 RAID card exhibited more difference than drives in a different system attached to the motherboard directly. As I mentioned, I haven't done extensive or highly scientific testing, but in general, across various hardware using various software, copying chinks of a few MBs seems to always beat copying bytes or KB per chunk.<br>

If 4096 is OFTEN several times faster than 512, would it make sense<br>
to consider canging the default?<br></blockquote></div><br>What disks are underneath this? One of the new 4k sector types?<br><br>-- <br> Les Mikesell<br> <a href="mailto:lesmikesell@gmail.com">lesmikesell@gmail.com</a><br>
