Ah yes. There was a time when SCSI was the hottest hardware for workstations and geeks. When my classmates in the late 90es bought 3D cards for their computers, I was counting every penny to afford an Adapted UltraSCSI controller and disk system. It was really fast and knocked the socks off ATA. My last controller was a 19160U which ran like a dream on Linux and FreeBSD. It was very noise though with a set of 10k rpm drives in my little teenage room.


Sounded like a jet engine! I just looked up the 2940UW and see that it's capable of 40MB/s...how far we've come
