How do I determine the read/write speed?

You could always use the SCSI controler on one of the accellerator cards. The SCSI3 (Ultra Wide) controlers are capable of 40MBps.

That must be a relitively old PC, as that is quite low. My machine I am using now gets ~60MBps (read and write).

My Amigas 840MB drive on my A1200 got roughly 1.7MBps which is dire. I wonder how much my new Seagate cheetah will get on my CS's SCSI when they both arrive...

Crumb: I assume you are refering to disk cluster size as opposed to block size.
