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 ... ?
