Puneet, your getting an *effective* rate of 11ms which is what Quantum loves to advertize. This is due to the cache they use. The actual access rate is 15ms. Their older drives had an actual access time of 19ms and and effective rate (with cache taken into account) of 12 ms. Tony Jacobs Center for Engineering Design University of Utah
