The man page for hdparm does warn about the -X## parameter. It suggests that you run hdparm -i to find out what your drive supports before chosing a -X setting. Although this is an ATA100 drive, connected to an ATA100 card, the hdparm -i test indicated UltraDMA Mode 2 support. So, can I use both -X66 & -X69? Assuming the answer is no, which will provide a greater benefit? -- _______________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
