Kicked the shit out of Adaptec?

How?  Does the HD on your PC actually approach the limit of
the SCSI bus anyway?  Was the throughput suddenly faster?  Was
the system more responsive?  Did you simply WANT DPT to win?

Seriously, as a previous post says, someone ought to do a REAL
benchmark, like TPS on a database server or something.  Benchmark
programs are easily fooled by caches, etc...

Has anyone done a REAL benchmark for SCSI2 vs EIDE?  Like NetBench
or the above database server?  I could imagine that for small
(i.e. not many simultaneous requests) loads, EIDE might even
outperform SCSI but then die off...

ANYONE?

btw, I too think SCSI kicks ass
