On modern systems you would probably need to be doing terabyte transfers between disks on the same machine. Back in the days when a megabyte was a lot dd was *much* faster. On an SD card I think that the write speed of the card is probably the limiting factor. -- John Hasler jhasler@newsguy.com Elmwood, WI USA
