So far, no performance issues that bug me. A restore of an image 5.5 GB of data is about 15-20 minutes. I have not timed it. (5.5GB of data, not the disk size, if anyone was wondering, hard disk is 10GB) Dell P2 450 128MB Ram When I start imaging the new computer that will be around 10GB of data, that may be an issue. Right now, with 5.5GB compressed at 40%, I have no problems with performance. And yes, 1 controller, same cable.

hi pw i love your question about two hard drives needing two controller cards, or else they can not operate simultaneously. i do not know whether this is for certain, and i am actively seeking more input on the topic. my personal feeling is that they can function together, but i realize now that that has always been more of an assumption on my part than a knowledge-based fact. i read so many recommendations, for instance, to place the swap file on a second drive to enhance performance, and it doesn't seem to correlate that these recs would be made if the drives were each waiting for each other. i hope that anyone with definitive info on the subject will please reply. :) mark
