Yeah, I really do not know what to believe. The Samsung SATA drive brags
of 3gb/s but I know that can not be the true throughput; but it should be
fast, at least above the 30Mb/s Adobe says I need for realtime playback of
high definition video files on a PC.

I am also going to have some fun experimenting with benchmarks of playback
and also rendering in both linux and MS-Windows, and on my existing IDE
drives and then the new SATA drives I am getting. It will be fun, e.g., to
clock rendering times of altering e.g. brightness and color tones with
Adobe Premiere Pro and then with linux's mencoder.

Good idea, thanks.
