fq040428-02 - 3S40D and 3S320D Series Compatibility


QUESTION:

Will the E-Disk® 3S40D (Ultra Wide SCSI) and 3S320D (Ultra320 SCSI) operate properly when simultaneously connected to a single controller?

ANSWER:

The Ultra Wide (3S40D) and Ultra320 SCSI (3S320D) E-DiskŪ drives will operate properly when connected to a single controller but will not deliver the maximum transfer rate. The devices will operate at the speed of the slowest device on the SCSI bus, regardless of the devices' published maximum burst transfer rates.
