That is, unless you are AFRAID... Well, I don't have an SE, but let's put it this way... I can format my ST-296N, which has a 34-blocks per track to 1:1 interleave... writing data is near negliable in most cases because it's done in the back-ground... larger files... I'll get back to you on that... On the SE the best interleave for a 26 blocks per track RLL encoded SCSI HD is 3:1... there's more blocks on the ST296N then normal RLL drives and the RAMFast can read that at 1:1 interleave. I'll get you some benchmarks though...
