After I do a major motherboard/processor/RAM upgrade to my system, I'm
consideirng upgrading to XP Pro. I've heard that SCSI performance
under XP is an issue.

Is this true? Are there are solutions or workarounds?

I have a few XP Pro systems with all scsi hard drives. Went straight to SP-1,
and have never suspected lower performance than the same systems had running
the same applications under Win2K sp-3.something.

I'm not saying that supposed scsi<>xp "problem" is a myth, but I've yet to
witness a problem...

Agree, never a problem here on the six systems all with various forms of
SCSI
setup's including raid.

do a search on storagereview.com for 'XPcachefilter', and turning ur
SCSI disks into dynamic disks. i havn't got SCSI personally, but have
heard that is a fix for any probs u may encounter.

A month ago, I installed a new drive in my system, and unknowingly
made it into a dymanic disk. I noticed this when PowerQuest 7 refused
to work with the drive. A simple change back to "basic" solved the
problem.

So, I would like to KISS. Or, is there a workaround/replacement for
PQ 7 that will work with dynamic disks?

Thanks,
