Hi Jonas, >>There have been successful users of smartdrv over the last year and there have been some that were not. In a production environment, some would rather invest in more hardware rather than use additional compression techniques. 3DS users tend to tax their environments and an intermittant problem is hard to tolerate when it affects production. Trying to diagnose a failing machine is also difficult when you add the layer of possible errors during compression. << None of my PC hard drives are compressed, which is DOUBLESPACING. From your message [correct me if I'm wrong], I think you're referring SMARTDRV.exe as disk compression. It's a RAM to disk caching method. I'm not fully sure if SMARTDRV.exe uses compression during the cache cycle. Anyhow, I did try to DOUBLESPACE my hard drive last year. The results were so "traumatic" that I vowed never to use it again. – SPECT
