I  tried this the other day also after reading this post. On an A3000, I
formated a RAD: disk with FFS. When I did a DiskSpeed on RAD: it came up
with a read speed of almost 7meg/sec with 256k buffers (from memory). I had
to look 2 or 3 times to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
       Anyway, this isn't exactlly hardware so I will leave,
                           Have fun,
