really? :-/ hmm, is that not only when it is being accessed?

Hmm, without checking I think the interface comes with some cache on the
adapter - theres a lot of electronics on it. maybe it helps to speed it up?
maybe not to top SCSI speeds but better than on IDE?
Just guessing ... i'm no hardware expert.
