I have a same sounding drive I pulled that is in fact ultra scsi -- I
have a card in my B+W for it to copy backups from earlier machines.
ultra is the fastest 50 pin at 20MB/s max versus "fast"=10. This
particular drive gets about 13 I think on the ultra card, as tested by
XBench in Tiger. An IBM 20GB I have gets IIRC maybe 17.
