The reason the A590 is slow is the hard drive supplied with it is very
slow. If you hook any fast drive to it (say a Quantum or a Wren), you'll
get speeds in the 800-900KB/sec range. I've seen a Wren III hit around
850-950KB/sec when attached to an A590, about the same speed as the
Hardframe controller for the A2000.
