That's a good point along with Dan's legacy SCSI backplane example. But I can
argue this is a misconfiguration. Why use a 160 MB/S drive in a system where it
will only run at 40 or 80 MB/S? In most systems I would expect this set-up to
be unintentional and the user would expect 160 MB/S performance. My point is in
a good domain validation implementation the end-user should be notified of the
under utilized drive instead of it being hidden.
