I've tested 6 Ultra 320 73GB drives push 280mbs/s through our SCSI controller using what we call HostRAID on the card. Connected to a PCI-X slot.
:devil:
Well, that new Serial ATA is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet. Theoretically 200 mbps throughput without the problems of normal IDE. BUT I can't find any info on whether it's still CPU controlled.
