[Cialug] SATA v. SCSI

[Nathan C. Smith]

I've seen SATA and SCSI drives (ultra SCSI) list speeds of 300Mb/s.  Is this
the raw transfer speed of the interface or the speed from disk to bus or is
that the hidden marketing element in these advertised speeds?  

It boils down to this:  assuming you have a good SATA controller or a good
SCSI controller, are the disk subsystems going to be on par with each other?
Can SATA be seriously considered as a replacement for SCSI yet?
