>>I was just at their web site:http://www.castlewoodsystems.com/index.htm
reading the ORB's specs when I noticed the following:

Average start/stop time 12/6 sec.

Why would it take 12 secs to start up and 6 to stop?
That's worse than my 24x CD-Rom <g>.<<

Andrew -

The Orb spins much faster than your CD-ROM, and the disks are massier. That's why it takes longer to spin up and spin down. Jaz takes quite a while, too, though I haven't timed it.
