I've been emailing Ecrix support about whether the 68 version of the
VXA drive would be significant faster than the SCSI-2 version on a
fast switched network. What they've said so far is:
The network speed never stays at 100 mps, it varies continuously.
Network backup speeds can run between 100 and 150 mb/sec, this is what I
have heard from customers. On a network backup the singled ended narrow
VXA-1 might run the same speed as an LVD VXA-1, because of the network
bottle neck.
This doesn't parse to me...getting 150 mbps on a 100mbps network. In
any event, I'm still wondering whether getting the 68 pin ultra scsi
version would prove superior to the SCSI 2 with fast ethernet
backups, or whether the network would still be the bottleneck.
Any comments appreciated.
