Thanks for the great info, Beachycove!

Shortly after I posted my question, I booted the IIfx from a special floppy that came with my SE/30, called "Hurricane." It's a special Mac drive formatting disk, with custom (supposedly faster) drivers. Hurricane recognized the 30gb drive, auto-partitioned it into 4gb chunks, and began testing it.

Since the testing is going to take hours (and hours...), I just left it running while I'm at work. I'll try moving a System folder over and running some benchmarks to see if it's much faster than the old 1st-gen SCSI drive I've been using.

Again, thanks for the advice!
