In particular the literature for the controllers has: "Diskswitch architecture replaces the shared bus found in SCSI systems with a multiplexed data path that speeds data into system memory without burdening the host CPU" Does that mean that to FreeBSD these controllers act like SCSI controllers? Anyone compared them to plain IDE drives or an SCSI Raid in terms of CPU utilization and performance? francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
