>>URL for DMA Check... Sorry, I just clicked the link in the knowledge base article and never thought about it. Lemme see here ... Sorry, for the moment I've lost it. Doesn't seem to be in the kb articles after all. I will look it up and post; I really should have thought about it. One of the links from Dan's message must have led me to it. It is on the microsoft web page somewhere. Also it's on the SP4 CD (and maybe the SP3 CD, dunno). I'm being called to grill dinner, so gotta run but will post it later. Meanwhile, I've pasted in some quick test results. By comparison, approx 3 mb/sec was max I was ever able to get before on a disk copy to different controller: 237 MB (10^6), 282 files, 9 folders. 32 sec = 7.4 MB/Sec (20GB 7200 to 17GB 5400) 265 MB, single file. 24 sec = 11.0 MB/Sec (20GB 7200 to 17GB 5400, different controllers) 265 MB, single file. 25 sec = 10.6 MB/Sec (17GB 5400 to 17GB 5400, different controllers) 265 MB, single file. 37 sec = 7.1 MB/Sec (20GB 7200 to 17GB 5400, same controller) 265 MB, single file. 58 sec = 4.6 MB/Sec (20GB 7200 to 20GB 7200, same disk) Spots
