You will only be using a maximum of 4 SCBs if you don't use tagged queueing (assuming only 2 devices active) since you can only have two SCBs active per non-tagged target. In otherwords, you will not be getting the heavy DMA load from moving SCBs in and out of the card's hadware SCB ram in this scenario. >Some test results: >1) TAG=OFF SCB=OFF >I can easily start up to 8 dds on each drive without any errors. >2) TAG=OFF SCB=ON >I can start up to 6 dds on each drive, more dds cause >"timed out in message out phase" error Hmm.
