Message-ID: Date: 8 Jan 90 02:46:57 GMT Sender: news@rocket.UUCP Distribution: comp Organization: Sanders Associates (a Lockheed Company) Lines: 10 We have a Xylogics 713 drive in a sun 3/E VME chassis. The CDC Wren-VI drives on it (drives 0 and 1) transfer at roughly the drive data density (10Mbytes in ~8 sec). The HP drives with 4000 RPM and more sectors/track transfer at 1/2 the speed.
