} } That is an interesting measuring method. The August issue of Byte } published a comparison of Ultra SCSI adapters and they had the AHA-2940 } Ultra wide and a Symbios 53C875 based board on the test. They tested it } with 8 drives and at least the 53C875 matches or beats the Adaptec in } all tests. The Adaptec actually came in last in accumulated bandwidth. } These tests where performed under Novell Netware, however, the } accumulated > 36MB/s with 8 disks on a single UltraSCSI card seem to } indicate that this is pretty close to the saturation of the SCSI bus. } } Of course, the Adaptec came in first with the highest price:-) } Cool. Where can this board be found, and how well does it work with FreeBSD? Thanks Richard
