Guys,

Was hoping to get some 'real world' experience/numbers (trying hard to
get around the marketing text of operations) for SATA vs Ultra 160 SCSI.

>From what I understand, SATA (not SATA-II, etc) is
150MegaBytes/sec...and Ultra 160 SCSI is 160 MegaBytes/sec.......say the
SATA is from onboard controller and SCSI Ultra 160 will be PCI add-on
card.

Q:  Would the drives be comparable in performance?

Thx - Dave
