Hi,
Been playing with my A3000D the last few days, and am curious what kind of performance is possible with the onboard SCSI.
With a CSMK-II '060 and all the latest chips, I'm getting about 3.7 MB/s synchronous. I know the WD33C93 is ancient, but I was hoping for a little better since I'm considering temporarily retiring the A2000, but sadly the MK-II SCSI doesn't fit in the A3000D, and my A2K/TekMagic has an excellent SCSI controller (10 MB/s). So it's a toss-up - Z3 vs better SCSI.
It would seem according to
this page that faster rates are in theory possible, and I've heard rumors of 6 MB/s on the A3000... if all else fails, I suppose another faster option would be some type of flash drive with a DENEB.
*edit* Also, I keep reading about a "J800 WD33C93 Speed" but I must be blind, cuz I don't see a J800 on either of my A3000 motherboards... :-o
