Alan self appointed spokesperson for the entire world :-) At least on my home machine I got ~10% extra disk space and only take a small performance hit on writes. Its like having a 220gb disk instead of a 200gb one. Thats worth it to me at least. And at least its an option for end users to choose, instead of "the one and only true way" ala steve jobs applethink. -Dan
