The key is the backplane, not the drives. You should be able to get u320 speeds if you have enough u160 drives.
Does five drives count?
I guess that depends on whether they can flood an u320 bus. If they are 10k/15k rpm drives, I'd think so...
Ummmm. say huh? if any one device on a SCSI channel is U160, the whole channel has to run no faster than U160, thats all she wrote. its a single bus not a 'star' like SAS or SATA.
OH, is that how those babies work? The backplane is not using a controller chip that mutiplexes the stuff? Oops, sorry.
