Zeuspaul >>You may want to check on driver support for your SCSI host adapter. The LS120 OEM should be able to tell you if it will work with your specific card. Also verify that it will work with your installed OS.<< I spoke with Winstation this afternoon. They said that currently it's impossible to boot from a SCSI LS120. Apparently Adaptec is working on a card that will allow the SCSI LS120 to act as a boot drive. Should know more in January but best guess is it'll be months before it's shipping. >>Why are you choosing SCSI? IMO it is a good choice if you are saving your IDE channels for better use as Dave noted.<< Speed when doing backups or coping/moving files to the A drive. Emory
