It's been a long time but I think it was fairly good. The interface can work in asynchronous or synchronous mode and one is very good for small files and the other very good for big files AFAIR. Correct termination and cabling made a big difference. So did only having only one device on the chain. And having a good disk cache.

I don't think I got anywhere near 40MB/s though. That is the theoretical maximum with no overheads.
