The largest problem with the distribution of a program to test drive speed is in the case of non-working drives. As even approved models can go through changes in firmware or default setup that make them not work, it would be very easy to buy a drive that is supposed to work, test it and find out it doesn't work, and not be able to return it to whoever you bought it from (this scenario would follow for dealers/distributers as well, they would need a different customer for flyer drives they bought that didn't work). Ideally (from an end user recieving working drives standpoint) either NewTek continues to sell drives, Manufacturers ID drives that will work with the flyer (i.e. flyer compatible sticker), or someone high up in the distribution chain works with manufacturers to provide tested drives to their customers. Their may be a way for individual dealers to handle this problem, but in the small volumes each dealer will be ordering, I currently do not see how. Charles Steinkuehler
