Hi Grant,

By trial? OR is there a forumla to calculate it? TIA

Some people think it has to do with the size of the drive buffer but I just test a big value and it seems all values over a certain size yield the same performance. Start with bs=32768 or something and time it or use the output from dd to tell you how fast it was.

time dd if=/bigfile.bin of=/outfile.bin bs=32768

You can also get crazy and do bs=8M but I've not seen a lot of speedup doing that.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows."
Now they have two problems.
