Taking one step back here:
Aren't both cards optimized for sustained high speed throughput for applications like video capture on a 16bit Fast/Wide SCSI Bus? Seems to me that SCSI2SDv6 should be employed as the boot drive on the 840AV SCSI bus where near instantaneous seek/access would be best employed by System/Application.. High end SCSI cards would then be employed for intended tasks using UltraSCSI server drives for their higher throughput singly or in a RAID configuration in support of the application?
A high end Fast/Wide card like SEIV or JackHammer in the 840AV/Quadra 950 for SCSI2SD attached to SCSI2SDv6 seems a waste, v6 seems better employed on Fast/Narrow Cards like the Silicon Express II (though it's synchronous only?) deployed in the pet IIfx,. If/when a 16bit bus version of SCSI2SD were to become available (it probably wouldn't be viable as a product offering) it would still have the throughput limitations of SD.
Insanity of the day: wondering if (slower throughput) SD Cards might be configured as an SD-RAID leveraging striped data <-> converter to achieve a 20MB/s throughput with all the access time advantages of Solid State?
- might a pair of stock Fast/Narrow 8bit v6 units be configured as a single Fast/Wide SCSI2SD drive?
- throughput limitations of SD are storage media based, interface bandwidth could support higher throughput, no?
- how many SD cards would be needed to gain the 20MB/s sustained throughput of a server drive?
RAID config of such SD-RAID2SCSI/F/W kluges hooked up to the JackHammer in my Radius 81/110/G3 could prove interesting indeed. [}
