The physical limit for transfer rate of today's HD is about 15mb/sec. No HD
can sustain a rate higher than that.
33MB/sec of UDMA and 40MB/sec of UWSCSI are theoretical limits.
Do your home work and don't brag your scsi here.
It's a waste of money if not used as multitasking server.
BTW, scsi cards usually are trouble makers.
