Thanks Tom…I think it's also important to note from your tests that you are lucky enough to have 8+ megs. of RAM for caching. Most of us lowly users with 4 Meg. or less need the hard disk caching option. As you found in your tests, performance is pretty close to RAM caching. Did you run any tests pertaining to a user who only has 4 Meg….the option would be to set up Speedcache with let's say 1 Meg. giving 3 to Windows, and setting up Speedway with an 8 Meg. hard disk cache with 1 Meg. for Smartdrv or some other supplemental cache….might be interesting to see if the product still works the same way… The other question is whether drive type makes a difference here. We know that MPC compatible drives will perform well even without caching in most situations…however, what about the low end of the spectrum, i.e. non-MPC drives like the DAC private label SONY unit and others. We have seen excellent results using Speedway for these products. Maybe other users could get involved here and let us know… Reese. P.S. Thanks for taking the time to run the tests! It is apreciated.
