My hdparm gives me: /dev/md0: Timing cached reads: 2776 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1387.91 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 398 MB in 3.00 seconds = 132.48 MB/sec For redundancy I use backups to a Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3300831AS 300GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive. Blazing speed with the raptors, lower speed, lower cost for the backups. Good luck. Bill Roberts
