Tamson,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but your question was a good one(too good -g-). I just read an article that may shed some light ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The data flowing through those pipes can be roughly divided into three types:

- Transactional: Hundreds of small files processed at once.

- Data warehousing and large files: Big chunks of data are passed around
frequently.

- Very large file or data streaming/video: Huge files stream to users in real
time.

FC-AL's advantage today lies in the third category. SCSI still has the edge in
speed and cost for transactional data processing, thanks to multichannel SCSI
devices. Sporting as many as six channels of SCSI, each independently
accessible, multichannel SCSI installation can send many more small
transactions at once than a single-channel FC-AL device. And multichannel
SCSI systems' production costs have decreased over time.

Hope this helps.
