no problem. so will the improper alignment also not cause a life expectancy shortage in case of a hdd (non-flash-based)? and one other question: the hdd also supports usb 3. will the improper alignment have any effect (speed wise) when connected via usb 3, or is even usb 3 too slow to notice the performance drop due to the improper alignment? cheers. alex > > > -- > Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 > p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 > FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe > Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
