>I just got myself a new 2.5 inch HD for my A1200. It works pretty good >however it seems to me that it is a bit slow. In SysInfo 3.23 (in the >disk speed test) I get 730 KB/sec transfer rate. Is that fast, slow, or >norma? Can anyone out there who has an A1200 with a Hard Drive give me >some info? Eugene, A bit on the slow side but it's what you could expect from a 2.5 drive. I personally use a 3.5 inch with 11ms access time on my A1200 and usually clock in at 1.8 – 2 Meg/sec. Alan

What kind of a drive is it? Does it have cache on board?
