Rich,
	I have a Barracuda ST12550.  I have a BT445 VLB controller.  I
benchmarked the drive under DOS using two programs.  The first one I used was
from Core Technologies core v2.92, and the second was Checkit ver 3.0.

Core	6.5meg/s
Checkit	1.2meg/s

I have been told that checkit reports a more resanoable transfer rate than
other benchmark programs.

If you have some benchmark program that runs under NetBSD I would be glad to
bench it and let you know how well it performs.

Thanks
Jeff
