- Hi -
-
- I'm trying to configure a new system, and I want to get the best possible
- disk configuration (general speed and throughput for multiuser systems).
-
- I've been told that SCSI-II (e.g., the new DEC disks spinning at 5400rpm
- or the Fujitsu disks spinning at 4500rpm) disks with EISA or MCA caching
- controllers are the way to go.
-
- Does anyone have any information on Such controlers?
-
- I know that the following companies have products, but I don't know
- their phone numbers to get additional information.
-
- Anyway, I'm trying to build up a table of Products, can anyone contribute
- any information?
-
- Company PH# Product Bus Cache? MB/Sec SCSI-2?
