Re: Looking for a solid ultra 160 scsi controller

[Chuck Yerkes <chuck+obsd_(_at_)_2003_(_dot_)_snew_(_dot_)_com>]

with just two disks, I doubt that SCSI/80 would fill.
Talk about hardware RAID, good hardware RAID and in
real world, your concerns might be justified.

Or many disks.  But 2....

(I'm presuming these are 15KRPM disks, as well.).

You'll get 160 for buffer shots, but I'd not worry
too much about it.
