That is my view, but others may well disagree Hi Ray! Yes, maybe it's more difficult and complicated than I expected. I thought about one thing; what happends if I have two Hard Disks and I have TB's stored on both Disks and I have specified both Paths in the Shredder 9 surface. It would be very nice and perfect if Engine 1 would use path 1 and Engine 2 use path 2 automatically. Is there a chance that it's working like that? If not how do each engine knows which path to use? Maybe it is just pure random which path they use? Best regards Per
