    My Computerware ST506 controller is attached to two 40MB MiniScribe
drives (a 3053 - half height and a 6053 - full height). Both of them
transfers around 390KB/sec. I bought the ST506 controller because I felt
that I can save on the drives but now I think a SCSI controller and drive
definitely worth the money.
