RAM timings 2-2-2, 7/9T, Windows ME
Notice access time -
8.7ms for SCSI (vs 12.3ms for IDE/ATA).
ATA drive accesses data ~40% slower this SCSI,
This is what makes a SCSI drive so good at things like running
your OS, apps & swap/page file,
where access times are
typically the (perf) bottleneck.
When printing DV video to tape, it's the minimum number that counts.
As
long as the graph stays above DV's requisite 3.6MB/s, you'll be okay.
