Review of my Acard ARS-2000SUP SCSI to 2.5" SATA adapter

[LaserBack]

Man seriously... You must be right. We're all wrong for using these utilities for years now, so I rest my case

I'm right of course....18mb per second is a total exaggeration.....why do you not post a sysinfo screenshot instead ?
 because  like you said ...it will give you  small numbers and you do not like it
that is not honest or real

Super, thanks for this - should prove to be a very helpful guide for the community that are still running SCSI systems.

I don't care about numbers tbh. My system is very fast and that is all I care about.
I didn't post SysInfo screenshot cause it's an really old and outdated utility, and most people will agree that is not accurate comparing it with SysSpeed.

If I remember correctly the reading on SysInfo was between 14 and 15MB/s (which is lower than 18.3 but a lot more than the max 8MB/s that you said).

I'll post a screenshot once I get back home just to end this crap talk

Thanks for the review.

I've got a couple of IDE to SCSI adaptors from Acard for use in my A3000 but it's out of action at the moment due to moving house.

Will post a sysinfo and a sysspeed pic later today showing 30mb/s with a csppc

The Acard is not a cheap solution but the fact that "it just works", provides a nice speedup and is nearly inaudible are worth the money to me! Also it allows me to use new drives for now and the next X years, instead of relying on older and older SCSI drives.

Of topic, I remember some other Dutch Amiga fans getting ~30MB/s on the CSPPC UW SCSI interface. Definitely out of reach with the (theoretical max) 10MB/s interface on my cards...

[Kawazu]

Will upload the rest later.

[mousehouse]

Nice!! That's how it's done ;-)

[mfilos]

Awesome results there Kawazu!!!
I ordered some time ago the UW ACard so I'm hoping for some better results as well

Oh damn! You used SysSpeed as well! It's not trustworthy! LOL

[Kawazu]

I hope this will be OK then? :roflmao:

You got served.

[mechy]

that is a expensive solution and adds unnecesary hardware to the Amiga
for the 3000 is ok cause there is no ide
btw,please post a sysinfo screenshot with the drive speed tests  because sysspeed'tests are not dependable

The amiga 4000 ide is slow as dirt and cpu intensive. Scsi is always better in almost every case(if its on the accelerator). I would say its almost manditory if you move any large files and don't want to wait a week.

Sys(MIS)info which is what veternan amigans have called it since it came out is not accurate on speed tests either.

diskspeed 4.2 i think may be a better alternative.

there is no amiga or hardisk controller for the Amiga which can offer 18mb/second transfer speed
maximum on the Amiga are 7 or 8 mb per second on Phase 5 scsi controllers
so you are lying or you are drunk loi...
do not use syspeed to test hardisk speed use sysinfo or diskspeed v4 on aminet

You have no clue do you?. the Cyberstorm UltraWide scsi does up to 25MB/s as does the cyberstorm MKIII. People like you spread misinformation.
I use this with 32gb cf's and Acard 7720UW to get simular speeds.

You should learn a bit more before you shoot your mouth off.

@mousehouse  Nice job on the 4000. Looks great!

hey LaserBack ,



nexti time DO YOUR HOMEWORK before spreading crap-facts that are absolutelly false. Piru's post alone should shut you up (not to mention the other ppl that know more than you but let's pick the most famous one) but no...! you had to continue the crapfest...

[nicholas]

I think we should all start a Piru Appreciation Society or fan club!

Will post a sysinfo and a sysspeed pic later today showing 30mb/s with a csppc

You didn't quite make 30MB/s . My SysSpeed 1st try results...

CreateFile 30.10 MB/s
WriteFile 32.10 MB/s
ReadFile 30.38 MB/s
RawRead 30.67 MB/s

These results would be better with PFS3 like...

Create 1282 Op/s
Open 3224 Op/s
DirScan 19314 Op/s
Delete 1733 Op/s
Seek/Read 8359 Op/s
