SCSI vs ATA I've been reading up on SCSI drives. storagereview.com --click on 'database' to compare drives and read about a specific drive. Storage Review has high regards for:(MARCH ARTICLE - outdated now?) Quantum Viking(4.5g) - 5 yr Warranty $165 Seagate Hawk(4.5g) - 3 yr Warranty and a little quieter. $229 They recommend these two as the bang for the buck. Anyone's thoughts between the two? Totally Awesome wants me to use the IBM DDRS 4.5g for $267 I can't find any reading on this one. ---------- I've compared the SCSI to the ATA using storagereview and the IBM Deskstar 8 actually compares pretty well to the SCSI. Anyone's thoughts on comparing SCSI to ATA? Is the extra price for gig worth it and the extra price for the scsi controller? I guess the big question is would I visually notice a difference for stock trading? What would be the benefits of SCSI vs ATA? ---------- SCSI controller adds some extra price. I would purchase the ASUS P2B -SL motherboard which has a built in Adaptec scsi controller and a built in Intel ethernet card. Current price is $328 at ESC tech. -------- Regards, S.W.
