Hey all,
I am new to the tweaktown forums and I checked to see if there were any other postings on this subject....so I would not be d00ping what has already been done. Well, I did not find anything regarding the following. My love for SCSI has always been there...until recently. I am in the market for a new box and was going to go scsi, but have read a few articles saying SCSI is pretty much useless in a home box...b/c features found in SCSI are most likely needed to be used. It has been a while since I have used IDE as my primary drive and was wondering what people thought? I am also having a difficult time believing that a Seagate Ultra160 SCSI 15k rpm with a 3.6ms seek time and a supposed 68MB/Rotational Speed 7,200 RPM, seek time of 8.9 ms and at Mode 5 Ultra ATA can do 100 MB/s :?: (By the way what is the Mode stuff on the IDE specs on Western Digital, so I am not 100% sure if the 100 MB/s is even a legitimate transfer rate) After doing this research what is the point of getting SCSI (unless doing made daisy chaining or for server purposes), well I just wanted to know what you guys thought on thee age old HD debate....SCSI or IDE. Sorry if some of the sh-t I have said sounds stupid, in which case it is b/c I do not know what I am talking about and need to be clued in!
Laters,
