[dba-Tech] JC: The Disks you bought

I bought Maxtor disks.  I have not done extensive testing from one to
another.  I guess I might go down to my office and do so.  I am on my laptop
ATM monitoring my son as he plays in the bath tub, so I can't answer any of
that right now.  I'll go downstairs later this evening and get the disk
model numbers, then do a large file copy timing the time it takes to run.
Believe me I have PLENTY of large files now.  

Should be interesting.

JC: 

What is the transfer rate on the disks you bought? And have you actually
tested the alleged rate by copying a suitably large file from one disk to
the other? Not that I'm maligning anyone's products, I just want to know how
fast they claim to be and how close they come to their alleged mileage.

A.
