I am thoroughly convinced that norton si's disk index is perfectly worthless.
It gave my ST-238 a 1.0 rating with a 3:1 interleave.  When I changed my
interleave to 2:1 si gave it a 0.6 rating.  However, there was a noticable
_increase_ in speed not a decrease (50% according to spinrite, and about the
same according to my sensory perception.)
