A yearly congress t...

Hi Shaun

I have also found big speed increases in ply reached and Kn/s when testing my HDD v my 8GB Corsair Voyager GT. (When using complete 5 man)

On average a 40% higher Kn/s rate acheived when using the flash compared to HDD. (In test postitions with 6 or 7 remaining men)
