My timings with the FFS showed that the ST506 drive showed about a five-fold
increase from the OFS (old file system) while the SCSI drive showed closer to a
10-fold increase. This was on the peaks for reading raw data. The other
diskperf tests weren't quite so skewed, but I suspect that's because my ST506
drive is faster seeking than my SCSI drive. Low-level formatting was originally
a problem for SCSI drives on the 2090, but I believe that that's been resolved
with the latest driver (which is avalable here in the Data Libraries).
