Hi,
can somebody give me a better understanding of what the iostat output is
decribing in the KB/t column. It might be really simple but figured I';d
ask, if in fact further clarification can be given.

do drive specifications generally contain KB/t information or statistics?
I currently have an IDE drive that has the capacity to do 128KB/t and a
SCSI drive 64KB/t. Are these stats in fact showing me that there is a
limitation with the SCSI drive? Are my file transfering capaibilities
less with the SCSI drive? I suppose what do I need to look for in
the spcifications when choosing new drives so this does not happen again?
