It depends alot on what type of controller you use and harddisk you have. The best combinations are the ESDI (Ultrastor) and the Micropolis's. With the new IDE controller's and drives being faster. I suspect it's possible in your application if you had enough buffer capability. A 64k cache should allow what you want to do. But, you could always add another HD :-)
