Ultra Wide SCSI - 28

 

JackHammer can transfer data through the Ultra SCSI-3

 

 

portion of the card at rates up to 40 MB/s (as allowed by the

 

SCSI-3 specification). The PCI portion of the card is capable

 

of data transfer rate bursts up to 132 MB/s. This capability

 

means the Workgroup Server 9650/233 and 9650/350

 

can receive data as fast as the drives can provide it. Simply

 

connecting the JackHammer•SE card to the SCSI drives

 

improves their overall performance.

 

To ensure the best possible disk I/O performance, the WS

 

9650 ships with all internal hard drives attached to the

 

JackHammer•SE card via the 68-pin Ultra Wide SCSI cable.

 

The WS 9650 allows for a total of four internal Ultra

 

devices. Due to electrical signal limitations with Ultra

 

devices, Apple Computer does not recommend connecting

 

external devices to the JackHammer•SE card.
