I fear I'll have to correct that a little. This 13.5 figure seems to be |
| 14 |
incorrect, in another try it was also shown at the beginning, but then |
| 15 |
quickly got up to >20. Also, a buddy just told me that this 4k stuff applies |
| 16 |
only to most recent drives, as old as 5 months or so. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
When I use parted on the drives, it says (both the old external and my 2 |
| 19 |
months old internal): |
| 20 |
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B |
| 21 |
So no speedup for me then. :-/ |
