 I try B.A.D some time ago.You need megs and megs of memory
 for even small partition (is it changed?).
 It dont seem to buffer anything! and move block by block!!!
 (My hitachi seemed to make PopCorn for 15 minuts:-)
 The result?
 I dont care mutch about WB, and for file access I have alsot
 of small file, and I prefere having the data near the header
 than header to header...
 For floppy its should be great! for HD more or less ,it depand.
 When its got really bad, I backup to another partition.format.
 copy back, the best I have experience for access performance.
