That's even more interesting, considering that Wren V full height drives are
rated at 12-16 Mbit/sec (depending on which "zone" you are on).  It's a real
screamer compared to most other SCSI drives.

What is the Maxtor 8760S rated at?

The only Maxtor that I've personally played with extensively is the
LXT-200SA, which is rated at 9-15 Mbit/sec (divided into three zones of 9,
13, and 15 Mbit/sec).  Not bad, but not nearly as fast as the Wren V FH.
