HD Tach is also good, but you need comparisons. <b><font color=blue>~ What do you mean "It isn't working!"...Now where's my sonic screwdriver? ~ </font color=blue></b>

I can't stand SiSoft Sandra's "comparisons" that don't seem to match up. <font color=red>People and hard drives are like bandwagon fans and sports!</font color=red>
