Doren, Thanks. It is hard to directly compare due to added features like SCSI.

"Macs have 2 SCSI drives, one fast (5MB/sec) one slow (?). Fast Wide is an option on the new ones."

PowerMacs based on Tsunami architecture such as 7500,7600,8600, 9600 have two SCSI bus built-in. The internal SCSI bus is capable of the faster max 10MB/sec throughput. The external bus is capable of max 5MB/sec throughput.

G3s have one onboard SCSI-bus share between internal and external devices with max throughput of 5MB/sec.
