Hi,

The block size issue can be related to some entry in the registry (search 
for "SCSI" and "buffer" on registry variables related to your device 
driver ). Even if you set the blocksize to 128K on the drive the registry 
entry can limit the blocksize to 64K because of the size defined for the 
buffer.

I can't remember the name of the registry entry, sorry.

Anyway. What "is taking a lot of time (tape 200GB - 2hours)"? and why do you 
think that using the second drive would make any difference? (deails please)

jee
