The performance demo features a 64-bit enterprise server, Adaptec dual channel SCSI technology, and 28 Ultra160 drives running an aggregated data rate of 350 MB/sec. The compatibility demonstration shows Ultra2 disks operating on a SCSI bus with Ultra160 drives, all drives operating at their maximum data transfer rates. Adaptec is also demonstrating Ultra160 SCSI technology in a high performance desktop application benchmarking it against Ultra2 SCSI using Intel's Iometer benchmark. Ultra160 SCSI's performance, compatibility, and early availability of Ultra160 drives will help Ultra160 SCSI quickly become the new I/O interface standard.
