I just got a MicroNet 644/NP at work, replacing my old MacinStor 650 (which
is no slouch in the speed department - 16 ms access times). The initial
impressions I have are that this drive is FAST. Performance in disk-intensive
applications like Photoshop seems to be greatly improved. I can also notice
the speed with which my 44 INITs load at start-up :-)

I have to run some performance benchmarks for our sales department on Monday.
I plan to run both hard disk test programs (like DiskBasher! and SCSI
Evaluator) as well as real-world tests. When I have the results compiled,
I will post them.
