LVD SCSI usefulness?

[the-one1]

I have an adaptec scsi card that supports lvd scsi @ 80MB/s and a drive that goes with it, but that drive tests slower than a 6 gig ide drive. What I want to do is buy this 18GB 68pin Ultra-160 SCSI 15,000RPM . Will this drive be able to stress the card and max out the drives speed, or will the card be the limiting factor?

thnx

That drive should be able to sustain about 60MB/sec, it'll blow away an IDE drive... U160 controllers are like $35 on Ebay, by the way..

Edit: watch out: storage capacity: 18.4 GB. Formatted storage capacity: 100~240 (Auto Switching) MB
