Does everyone have to post "does ccd work?" or "how fast is it?" every
time they're interested in using ccd?
FAQ:
Yes, ccd works. Many people (myself included) use it daily for our

unhappy people.
Yes, ccd will give you a moderate performance increase. No, it will
not double your performance with two drives.
