Hi Mike

Do you have any similar measurements for restore activities ? I have heard
these drives are significantly slower (which would really bite in a
disaster situation) so if you have some some real world experience to share
I would very much appreciate if you would share it.

I am particularly intrigued by the notion of how it performs for the IFS
which is already a slow beast to deal with for save and restore operations.

Anyone else with similar experiences is welcome to enlighten me.
