[comp.periphs] Why are my HP 700MByte ESDIs slow on a xylogics 713?

dove@rocket.uucp (Webster &) (01/08/90)

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.  Why???
