Hi!

Can someone help explain to me the "interleave" characteristic of hard drives?
I have a new Quantum HD, and when formatting, it asks me for the desired
interleave. (1, 2, 3, or 4). Currently I have the HD installed internally
on my MacSE. (no accelerations or anything).

Specifically, what interleave SHOULD I be using, and what advantages/
disadvantages/side effects are of using the right and wrong selection?

Thanks much!

- Chris
