states that :"The connectivity fabric for SCSI is based on a shared-bus model. A shared bus is inherently a blocking I/O architecture. Only one device can be on the bus at any point in time. All other devices must wait. ..." So how does this differ from ATA where only one drive can be transferring data at one time as well? Doesn't this also translate to meaning that bandwidth of multiple devices on a chain cannot be aggregated to reach the SCSI bus' maximum rate the same way as for UltraATA-133? So what then becomes of SCSI's advantages over ATA? Or are there some fishy/misleading claims being paraded here? _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
