Just a update on this drive:

Timing cached reads: 780 MB in 2.00 seconds = 389.91 MB/sec

It appears that hdb is on the way out. I think it is packing its
bags. 4.55MB/sec is getting pretty slow. That is on par with the
drives that were made 15 or 20 years ago.
I guess the next time I have the rig turned off, I need to move hdc down
to hdb's spot and bolt her down.
