Its not plugged into anything yet, so I'm not sure.

I take it I won't be seeing more than 10MB/sec even if its plugged into an
AthlonXP and hooked up with U160 drives (overkill yes, but I cant find any
lower spec drives :)

I was under the impression from the literature I can find on the Adaptec
website, that they were 40MB/sec UW cards - is that just marketing or am I
missing something?

Mark.
