Hello Todd, I sent your question to my tech support engineers at Ecrix. Here is some information that might help. Frank, We have tested both VXA-1 drives, single ended narrow and LVD. With the Mac G3 you have to run the VXA-1 LVD on an LVD SCSI controller. The VXA-1 LVD will not work on a single ended narrow SCSI controller in a Mac system. We did see a faster throughput with the LVD controller card and the VXA-1 LVD, about 50 to 100 Meg/Minute faster. This was using an AdvanSys ASB3940U2W for the LVD vs. an Adaptec Power Domain 2930. We were doing local backups. Connected to a network the backups will be slower, even on a 100 Mbps network. The LVD should run faster then the single ended VXA-1 but it still depends on how fast the network can send data to the tape drive.
