looking at the specs between two cards, the SATA card(s) seem to rate ~100-150MB/s on each channel (if I'm reading right), with both the 3Ware and ICP cards having 4 individual channels ... looking at the SCSI cards, they are rated at 320MB/s, but that is total for the SCSI bus itself, right? So, if I have three drives on a SCSI bus, each 'maxing out evenly', I'd be cap'd at about the same 100MB/s per drive, no? In fact, looking at the SATA 2.x specs, each chanell there is rated at 300MB/s, which, again, if I could 'max out evenly', could seriously blow away the SCSI bus itself ... *If* I'm reading this right ... ? ---- Marc G.
