Hiya
 
 
A kind soul recently gave me an Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI card.
I was wondering how much difference in performance I would
get if I moved to SCSI from my current UDMA setup.
 
SCSI drives seem to have higher rpms on the whole, also there's
the issue of CPU usage during transfers.
 
Opinions?
