But still, 5x Write speed with that module.
I just dont think ppl that bought the 642 without would think.."ohh thats
a okai speed".
I know the acceleration will help in some ways yes, but still.
There really must be something wrong here.

Actually, most ppl who buy a 642 never bother testing disk performance, so
would never notice either way.

For an objective performance, try IOMETER
http://www.iometer.org/
That's the 'standard' for testing disk performance.

I have a customer right now (Danish, ironically) who's complaining of a
similar problem. We have just put a LOT of resource into proving that the
performance is actually about right for the system, and I have to ring him
tomorrow to explain to him why he's a complete ****wit...
