Well that i imagne has very very very little effect since the hard disks cant put out any thing close to that with 7200 rpm ... they dont even get neer the 100 ATA mark, yap its all good an nice have a very wide bus but the hard ware bhind it cant realy delever ... but the main point of my quation is ... is there a big diffrence in prefromance between the scusi emulation to the native driver ? cause i heard the sucsi has some overhead just for the emulation part .... Oh and yes the Promise isn't all hardware and not the best but for home use ? do u want to spend the bucs for a real raid controler ? well ... if u have the cash and nothing to do with it then have fun ... for 2 disks its enaghf but for raid 3 or 5 its a very diffrent story, and i know some systems with that kind of hardware and they burn rubber (a scusi real rade up to 15 times faster then a regular sucsi drive wich is alfcourse faster then any 133 bla bla ata drive) ----- Original Message ----- From: <yoram@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ataraid-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 2:59 PM Subject: RE: why not use the promise scusi emulation driver ? > I think there Promise maybe a tiny bit better on my M/B by 33 Mhz...
