UltraEdit is very popular, but not free.

Are you talking about USB access to the disk? This should be unaffected by
whatever we do in our software.

It is very likely that the runtime has improved. After all, that's why we're
doing this. Especially if you enable the fast disk reading, this loads the
data in half the time! Less disk uptime, less power.

We have no fugures yet. It would be interesting if somebody tests the
runtime again, or has the equipment to measure a longer term average power
consumption.
