Hi MARK,

You tell us, did it speed it up much? It should be in most cases, but
increasing the block size will help a lot too, but will require reformatting
the partition... See HDToolbox docs. Don't forget, the amount of RAM used by
buffers is (Number of buffers)*(Block size) so upping your block size will
take a chunk out of your RAM.
Regards,
Rob
