For those of you curious about the SCSI, IDE, USB & FW throughput speeds, here they are: Release date Standard Rated Throughput Aug 1995 Fast SCSI (SCSI-3) 10 MBps (10) Dec 1995 FW 400 Mbps (8) Apr 1996 Ultra SCSI 20 MBps (9) Sep 1998 USB 1.1 12 Mbps (11) Sep 1998 Ultra 160 SCSI 160 MBps (2) Sep 1998 Ultra2 SCSI 80 MBps (6) Apr 2000 USB 2.0 480 Mbps (7) Jun 2000 Ultra ATA/100 100 MBps (4) Jul 2001 Ultra ATA/133 133 MBps (3) Apr 2002 Firewire 800 800 Mbps (4) Aug 2002 Ultra 320 SCSI 320 MBps (1-Fastest)
They are theoretical, and don't take into account overhead, bus speeds, the drive itself. If you really want to know, I suggest you hop on over to: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ http://www.barefeats.com/index.html http://www.macspeedzone.com/ There is, or was a web site called sharkey's machine that speed and upgrade tested PC and Mac stuff, etc. Can't find it right now.
