Andrew – You say that the drive is "low end MPC compatible" in your message. I do not consider a 68k data transfer rate anywhere near MPC compatible. I have run the benchmark program on a number of drives and the results look good and I believe that it is reporting the actual data transfer rate. 68k just won't cut it. Could you define what you mean by "low end MPC compatible"? I have not run across that terminoligy anywhere else. If you have the official specs on the BSR 6800MX, please post them here as I have been unable to obtain them. From what I can find out, the data transfer rate is way down there because the drive has a small buffer. Anything that you can add that will help me understand exactly what this drive is capable of would be appreciated. Maybe the data transfer rate on my drive is in the pits because of a problem on the drive. If the specs say 150k and I am getting 68k then it could be defective. Loui Lou
