The SATA SSD in there (benchmark to the left) got 25MB read/write average, so I guess that can serve as an equivalent of using a PCI SCSI card.
I believe the Cheetah 15k.4 is an Ultra320 drive, and its specs say it should be able to get 96MB/sec as noted here: http://www.seagate.com/files/docs/pdf/en-GB/marketing/Seagate-Cheetah-15K-4-gb.pdf
I'm using an adapter to get the Cheetah to work in the 9600. It's like a U320 to normal SCSI2 or something, just whatever is in the Powermac 9600 by default. The speed it's giving me would make more sense if I had this hooked up to the external SCSI bus, but it's definitely on the internal one since the ribbon cable is going from the motherboard to the adapter on the drive. I was hoping to hit like 8MB/sec or so on it.
If these are 'normal' speeds for a 9600 in this setup then no worries. I'm just not sure that this is actually normal or not.
