1 Your PC's Performance Features Increasing the Speed Limit With Ultra SCSI Disk Striping If you are using Windows NT, your PC's integrated SCSI controller is able to improve the performance of your SCSI hard disk drives by using disk striping. This is a method of grouping multiple disk drives together so that they seem, to the user, as a single (logical) disk. Data is stored across these multiple disk drives in stripes of equal size; the first stripe is stored on the first drive in the group, the second stripe on the second drive and so forth. Single logical drive Data stripes on hard disk drives SCSI channel The advantage of disk striping is that it significantly reduces the impact of your disk drives' main performance limitation which is the interface between the SCSI channel and the hard disk drive.

Increasing the Speed Limit With Ultra SCSI
Disk Striping
If you are using Windows NT, your PC's integrated SCSI controller is
able to improve the performance of your SCSI hard disk drives by using
disk striping. This is a method of grouping multiple disk drives together
so that they seem, to the user, as a single (logical) disk. Data is stored
across these multiple disk drives in stripes of equal size; the first stripe
is stored on the first drive in the group, the second stripe on the second
drive and so forth.
The advantage of disk striping is that it significantly reduces the impact
of your disk drives’ main performance limitation which is the interface
between the SCSI channel and the hard disk drive.
