HOW DOES DRIVE ROCKET SOFTWARE WORK?

Drive Rocket software makes use of a new technology in most new
IDE (AT interface) hard drives called read-and-write-multiple
mode (also known as multiple block size or MBS).  By using this
new technique, overall data transfer rate (measured in kilo-bytes
per second, Kb/Sec) can be increased up to eighty percent.        
             
The Drive Rocket software will determine if your hard drive(s)
support read-and-write-multiple mode.  Drive Rocket will then run
a series of non-destructive benchmarks on all multiple block size
(MBS) values supported, and I/O sizes from .5K to 64K, for three
seconds each, to determine which MBS value will give your hard
drive(s) the best overall data transfer rate.  When the benchmarks
have been completed, a graph showing a before-and-after
comparison of your hard drive’s performance will be displayed.  

Drive Rocket software may increase your performance even if the
drive does not support Multiple Block Size, especially if your
system BIOS does not support shadowing. If shadowing is not
enabled, each I/O request is handled by the system ROM BIOS. When
Drive Rocket Software is installed, its device driver is handling
each I/O in RAM which is faster then ROM.
