Hi Fiona,

262144 seems to be the way to go with these drives. I've seen it used
to good effect several times, and it's also refered to in this
Whitepaper:

http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/products/White_Papers/Data_Protection/nbu_db2_max_large_db_backup_and_restore_perf_wp_110904.pdf

You'll need a hefty amount of memory as well, because you'll need a
lot of these big buffers to get the best out of these drives. The
above example uses 128.

All the best,

Ian.
