They go on to claim that the software cuts the average access time by up to 50% by using a sort of coarse-grained parallelism. For example, one of their drive bundles, two CDC WREN runner drives configured as a single volume, each with an uncached average access time of about 10ms, has an effective average seek time of about 5ms. I have no direct experience with MicroNet's software, but I have had one of their CDC WREN drives for over a year now and have been very happy with its performance. -- Brian
