See "freebsd-scsi" archives. I do not know about the ``fastest'' bit, but the DPT controllers are pretty good at certain things. he point was not ``my SCSI is better han your IDE'', but rather to illustrate some of the capab ilities in FreeBSD we tend to forget at times (it is an Excellent O/S), or what to look for, IMHO, when building a machine for a specific task.
