Yes. 1.5Gbps = 188 MBps which is a bit less than 2x 100 MBps which is ATA 100. So that's certainly what makes sense in the context of the article. Networking people tend to think in bits and storage people in bytes. So guess what happens in articles about Storage Area Network technologies. Then again I make the same mistake ( B vs b ) all the time, but that's because, uh, my shift key sticks. Yeah, that's it. ---- C.
