It is the most less expensive SCSI-2 : controller and has the performance reach the SCSI-2 spec. : I got 6.6 MBps reading rate on a sigle Seagate Baracuda disk and : 8.5 MBps reading rate on double Seagate Baracuda disks on the same controller. : It costs $55 now from ACME MICRO-SYSTEM Inc., and about $69 - $79 other places. : So if these things are so fast and so cheap, why not use them instead of something like the Buslogic 946C?
