>>Anyone's thoughts on comparing SCSI to ATA?
Is the extra price for gig worth it and the extra price
for the scsi controller?
SW, I can only tell you my conclusions. Not everyone is
in my place, but every time I decide to go to SCSI (hard
drives, that is) I find the EIDE drives coming up with
more new bangs for the buck. Now, IF I had to do a lot
of simultaneous drive accesses, which I would only do if
I were a server of mucho network users, which I'm not,
THEN I would wish I had split for SCSI.
BUT in my case I am the major user of everything on my
in-house network, so EIDE works swell for me. Also I
understande it. Also, NT boots without a special driver.
Also, the major advances are coming in EIDE nowadays.
BUT AGAIN I've now maxed out my system in EIDE hard drives
(4), so NOW I wish I had split for SCSI in the first place.
But if I had, I couldn't have afforded to max out my
system (which has well over 20 gigs of EIDE attached).
The best advice I can give is stick to EIDE till you
can't stand not to. First that horizon keeps getting
pushed back, and second you will come out much cheaper
in the long run.
