Actually I believe you are using your drive at 1/4 speed. Your drive
is probably being used in SE mode, which maxes out at 40MB/s. I have a
39160 card, which is the dual channel version of your card. The only
way I can get my Ultra 160 drive to work is by putting it in SE mode.
So Im only getting 1/4 of its performance.
Adaptec stopped supporting these cards. If you want full 160MB/s speed
out of these cards I believe your ONLY option is to downgrade to os
10.2. For this reason, I hate Adaptec. I spent $100 on this card and
cant even use it. I say you and I email Adaptec and demand $100 from them.
I don't know what there is for fibre channel but the ATTO UL3 is Ultra
160 and completely compatible with OS 10.3 and I believe 10.4 as well.
