I was thinking of renaming the .gz's with the serial number as this would seem to me as more useful, is this a good idea ? These numbers are not at all reflective of the drive or controller speed as I took the lazy route and was writing 2 sets of images at the same time to the same drive and in addition gzip was also running (although not really stressing the system from what I could tell). I suspect also that the drives may be pretty fragmented as the space was not allocated at the start of the write, so that may have had some impact too.
