At the same time, my 4.3gig Fujitsu SCSI2 on the integrated AIC-7895 does an ok job as well for throughput. So I'd say they're relatively close in performance for my A/V requirements and all, individual results will vary. Many people say Maxtor drives are crap, but I have had no problems with mine and they've been burnt in, dropped, thrown, and various other things. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us My Latest Kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (ONEEX) #14: Mon Oct 19 22:36:58 EDT 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
