I am using an IBM DFRSS4W, (4.5G UW) on an Adaptec 2940uw.
No Problems. but performance is not what I had Hoped it to be.....
Dependent on the benchmark programs anywhere between 4, and 20Mb/sec
Large contiguous files are fine but have lots of small files, or
something badly fragmented, and you see transfer sink to <3Mb/s!!
I was told I need to get a firmware upgrade (1.2 to 1.8 for my 2940uw)
