@lurkist:
64k = 64 * 1024 = 65536 = 0x10000
0xfe00 is fine, too, it's one block (512 bytes) less than 64k.
@KThunder:
It's rather so that new drives corrupt files with larger values because manufacturers don't test their drives with large values. At least that's what I heared.
There are more problems with larger MaxTransfer values than with low ones and there are new posts about MaxTransfer problems every now and then in different forums. So you cannot say that MaxTransfer is an old setting which does not affect current drives.
