That's about the performance of the drive on the back side. The ones that
suck give about 20% of full out performance under heavy firewire stress
(e.g. video capture). The better ones don't show any degradation, which
is what you'd expect. Not that they're great, but I wouldn't go so far as
to say that they suck. ;-)
