Gamespot heeft een review gepost van de Adaptec 29160 Ultra 160 SCSI controller. De 29160 kan gebruik maken van 64-bit PCI slots, hoewel de adapter ook in normale 32-bit slots werkt (64-bit PCI is echter wel vereist om de maximale bandbreedte van de 29160 te benutten, deze is bij 32-bit 33MHz PCI namelijk beperkt tot 132MB/s). In vergelijkende WinMark benchmarks met een Quantum Atlas 10K bleek de 29160 sneller te zijn dan de 2940U2W:
The Business Disk Winmark's score was about 6.8 percent better using the 29160. This is statistically significant, as it's above the 3 percent margin of error. The High End Disk Winmark came in at a whopping 15 percent higher, which was pretty startling. Remember, we're using the same drive, CPU, and memory, only varying the SCSI host adapter. Also interesting was the fact that the CPU utilization dropped a bit, which indicates that the Adaptec controller chip is more efficient. When you check out the actual, measured transfer rates, these don't change at all. This reinforces the conclusion that there's an overall efficiency increase and that the Atlas 10K is already moving data as fast as the controller will accept it.
) en misschien wel z'on SCSI ding er in pleuren. Eén nadeel... De prijs!!
