Promise SX4000 is an external ATA-SCSI box AFAIK. I have an RM8000 (the difference should be only that it supports 8 PATA drives instead of SX4000's 4 and it is in rackmount form, not desktop) which can read about 30-40 MBps (yes, it's that slow) and write about the 10-20 MBps, when the cache is turned on. -- Attila Nagy e-mail: Attila.Nagy@fsn.hu Free Software Network (FSN.HU) phone @work: +361 210 1415/127 ISOs: http://www.fsn.hu/?f=download cell.: +3630 306 6758
