Yup. I believe the VS2000 uses 2:1, bit it might be 3:1. I'm
fairly certain that it's not 1:1.
That said, though, I've never actually benchmarked a RQDX3-
formatted drive against a VS2000-formatted drive plugged into an
RQDX3. I'm assuming the bottleneck will be the rotational latency
(and thus would be affected by interleaving) but there may be a
tighter bottleneck elsewhere.

Yes, but the
VS2000 and RQDX3, if memory serves, use different
interleave factors. I'm pretty sure the VS2000 formats at 2:1 (or
is it 3:1?) while the RQDX3 is capable of handling 1:1. This will
reduce data transfer rates on the RQDX3. (which needs all the help
it can get)
RQDX1 and RQDX2 certainly use 3:1, I don't know about VS2000 but it
might be the same. RQDX3 does indeed use 1:1.
