Wrongo!! the 84000 is just a 4Gig version of the 85100, no difference
except the size!! (according to Maxtor and visual inspection :) )
They are 5400rpm/256K cache drives endeed.
I based mesurements on Bonnie & wall clock time, so come again....
I for one have always been an advocate for SCSI subsystems (And still
have one :) ), but the EIDE stuff has shaped up somewhat lately, and if/when
I get DMA going (on my P6 natoma that is), I'll bet (naw maybe not) that
they will be serius contenders for workstation usage.
