- I just took delivery of my Toshiba 1.2GB drive this week. I'm not using
- it internally, but it has been plug and play externally, so you should
- have no trouble except for the heat issue.
-
- Anybody out there got a decent drive benchmark program they could NeXTmail
- me? (I don't have Internet access or I'd peruse the archives.) I've got
- a couple but don't trust the results. One says the drive can write over
- twice as fast as it can read, and the other says it can read over 5 times
- as fast as it can write. I'm not after a "true" benchmark, but something
- internally consistent would be nice. I'd also like to compare various
- drives I have access to. Thanks in advance.
