Hi.
Do you get messages like the ones below in /var/log/messages?
sym53c875-0-<0,0>: QUEUE FULL! 8 busy, 7 disconnected CCBs
sym53c875-0-<0,0>: tagged command queue depth set to 7
In fact, do you get any messages in your log files that look like they
might be related?

Hm. As a point of comparison, I use a similar system to yours (full SCSI,
though, no IDE) and I can copy a 100MB file from disk-to-disk, or on the
same disk, in around 13 seconds. Where are you copying to the SCSI drive
from - the same drive, an IDE disk, CDROM? If IDE, what are its
particulars?

Sorry, forget this last email. Here is hdparm output.

Forgive me, I'm rather ignorant of SCSI hardware.All that I have is a
cable (appears
to be good quality, came with motherboard) about 60 centimeters long going
from the
motherboar
ing the drive in synchronous ultra wide mode? is you
termination good?
