"close to the performance of an Ultra-SCSI disk" only if you don't have any concurrency! There IS a difference. Remind yourself that there's a reason RAID towers don't use SCSI drives... (Which is fine if you know what you're getting into, but don't truly expect IDE to be able to do everything as well as SCSI, no matter what the marketing people say.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
