To cite a popular manufacturer directly from the homepage: "... and a data transfer rate of up to 5 megabytes per second" Please note the "up to" and that this drive is an affordable latest generation ADR streamer. Last time I looked the speed was still specified per minute since they are (were?) so slow. Also note than an iPod has a data transfer rate of 5MB/s, modern drives (even when crammed into an USB2/Firewire casing)=20 beat that by a magnitude yet are a whole lot cheaper than a good streamer. FWIW: The streamer in my office is in the happy 100MB/m (compressed) league. Streamers are only interesting for lots of data, for normal use they're not only too slow but also too expensive. > I'd like to see a raising hands that have this functional at > anywhere near line (60% is close enough) rate ? Check tomshardware or whatever magazine you prefer to read. Modern cases (like the ones with the Oxford chipsets) deliver almost the same performance as a built-in controller. --=20 Servus, Daniel --=-ye5GCY7HXASGlDzM3wYC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA+/uYwchlzsq9KoIYRAs+kAKDIXgm1k+tzr7HKUUvIWbbvvOCc0wCcDnQq CF2MDVPvH6lT6dvqrULfIWw= =ygH7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ye5GCY7HXASGlDzM3wYC-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
