Yes, but doesn't the card ship with "fake RAID"?
No, it's just a plain old Ultra160 Dual Channel SCSI Host Adapter.
I just purchased one actually, have hooked it up to a Quantum Atlas 10K2
and can't seem to get them talking in Ultra160 mode. Here's the proc
output:

The drive has a SCA connector on the back, with a sticker on the connector
stating "Ultra160/LVD/SE". To connect this drive I've used an adapter
which converts the SCA connection into a regular 68-pin internal one, then
used a terminated cable with Ultra160/LVD/SE marked on both the connectors
(there's 4 of them) AND the terminator. I've tried turning the internal
terminator in the Adaptec BIOS on and off with no change. There's no
other devices on this bus other than the drive & the host adapter.
Is this normal? What do "User", "goal" and "curr" mean? Why are there so
many commands queued?

For whatever reason, the bus is running in single ended mode. I don't
have a guide to the 10k2 handy (and google is turning up empty), but it
might either be jumpered wrong, or you might have a cabling issue. You
might also want to check that the SCA<->68 pin coverter isn't
responsible.
Is this normal? What do "User", "goal" and "curr" mean?
User is what the BIOS is set to
Goal is the best that we think that we can get
Curr is what we are actually running at
Why are there so many commands queued?
This is just a cummulative count since the system booted.

I have 2 types of 68-80 pin SCA adapters.
1 has AT on the end on the model number. These also have resister packs.
This is a single ended adapter. It would not support LVD.
The others have LS at the end of the model number. No resister packs, and
are LVD.
SE can do 40 MB/s.
LVD can do 80/160/320 MB/s depending on your hardware.
I don't think my SCA adapters were designed for 160, since my hardware can
only do 80 I don't care.
So, check your 68-80 adapters.
Also, most LVD SCSI disks have a "force SE" jumper. Be sure you don't have
this set. If you do, your disks would be in single ended mode, and limited
to 40 MB/s. If the URL below is correct, you disk also has this jumper.
Maxtor bought Quantum, or part of it.
