The transfer rate was measured with a program called DiskSpeed which is
a common program used on Amiga System to measure HD speed. It gives 
read/write speed as well as no. of seeks/create/delete and scans per
second. In general, it seems pretty accurate, and I sware, I didn't
use any software cache program... Infact, cache shouldn't affect the
overall tansfer speed anyway, it does affect the no. of seeks/delete etc
though...
