Please don't continue crossposting....

 * I have no problem with NCR at all. Specially under FreeBSD, It does not take
 * CPU time. Two disks or 14 disks is not the issue for SCSI controllers.
 * If you can saturate the SCSI bus with two disks (new tech can), then, putting
 * 100 disks (assume ID is allowed), would not make any difference at all.

You may want to note that there is more to performance than sequential
throughput.

 * Does some one have tested any ultra-wide SCSI controllers to have at least
 * more than 20 MB throughput over a single controller with number of ultra-wide
 * disks? 

I have seen over 30MB/s on one of the channels of an Adaptec 3940UW
with 6 or 7 of the newest IBM drives.

 * 	  I posted such question a few month ago, and did not hear any respond.
 * I was wondering no one had it worked at that time.

Maybe you asked in a wrong list? :)
