both worked pretty well with data on a partition (I ddrescue'd the old<br>
drive to the SSD then grew the partition).<br>

However, after running a couple I/O tests on the drive I'm not going to<br>
bother with the realignment. I'm getting read speeds of about 160<br>
MB/sec and write speeds of 116 MB/sec. Given the age of the machine<br>
that's pretty good (AMD K6 with a PCI SATA card and SATA SSD to replace<br>
the on-board IDE and old Maxtor drives)<br>
