The lowest I have seen on my BX board was a transfer rate of 100Mb/min, the highest hitting about 220Mb/min. When I installed a Promise Ultra66 card, it varies even more, on the low end of about 300Mb/min to just under 700Mb/min with 7200RPM drives. Why the high end of Ultra 66 is more than triple of Ultra 33, not a clue. I would imagine that it has something to do with the cloning process as it isn't as simple as a direct copy from one drive to another.
