Good question, What can we expect from it?

I assume transfer size would be filesystem's blocksize and that can be defined when defining the partitions. First three probably are possible with all Amiga's filesystems, but I'm not sure about that biggest one... at least SFS supported up to 32768 bytes at some point. Usually they default to 512 bytes... the bigger you set it the more space is wasted with small files (like Amiga has), but it gets faster especially with bigger files. It's a compromize, but 2k or 4k would still be acceptable in many cases.

But in any case that doesn't sound very fast. Maybe more ok for old SCSI controllers in A500 or so, but for example with Blizzard SCSI Kit on A1200 you could get up to 10MB/s speeds and that kind of 2MB/s would be a bottle neck and not faster than internal IDE speeds. Of course CPU load should be much lower even then.


So what your saying basically is this is a great boot partition but not a HD replacement.
Read is good, write, not so much!
