| Ken,
|
| Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think the original poster is
fully
| cognizant of the boilerplate information you posted. He's asking for
| specific reasons why his two 10K SCSI drives are receiving, to his mind,
| such a wide variance in WEI scoring. (5.6 to 4.7)
|
| Shane - the only thought I have on this is: not all hw that claims to be
"X"
| delivers "X" performance. Honestly, I don't have much experience with
SCSI,
| but your two drives, Fujitsu and IBM, are going to have different drivers
| for each drive, right? Unless they're both using a generic MS driver...
| and... different drivers could very easily mean different performance.
