The jury is still out here. I can't work out from my extensive googling
what it is but there seem to be a majority of people flagging it as
Ultra-Wide. I certainly thought it was. And I did get more than 20MB/s
off it.
Getting more than 20 MB/s is convincing. I would not rely on polling of folks or sites on the internet though. However, if you know the people/source in question, that's a different matter.
The reason I would not rely on polling is that there are an awful lot of people out there who apparently never heard of Fast & Wide. So when they think they need to preface 'Wide' with some other SCSI words, they *always* say 'ultrawide' even when it isn't. For example, some years ago OWC was selling the ST15150 as a Ultra-SCSI drive or Ultra-Wide SCSI drive (depending on whether it was an N or W) but the ST15150 was never Ultra.
Regardless, I can't get hold of a SEIV anyway :-(
I think I'll have to lash it up and hoover the data off onto my 7100cx and then nuke & pave with 8.1 Drive Setup. I was just wondering if it had been used in an older Mac (seems odd to have such a good hard disk with 7.6 on!!!) as an AV drive or something (and not for very long either). I think it's almost worth buying a 9600 PowerMac just to put it in. 50-pin drives of this quality are very hard to find at a sensible price these days...
