Hi, pls help me if u know the ans.
I'm going to buy a scsi card and drive with 9.1GB capacity. The U2W scsi
with 80MB/s transfer rate is the base to start with as ultra 160 (160MB/s)
and fibre channel (100MB/s) are available as well. My first question is if i
go for scsi with 80MB/s than i have to pay for more $ for a scsi drive and a
scsi card. However, UDMA66 can have 66MB/s which is only a little bit slower
than u2w scsi but it saves a lot of $. I reckon there is benefit(s) of
having scsi than ide for some reason. Can u tell me?
I just know scsi drives have relatively fast data transfer rate, sustained
throughput, avg seek time and access time, internal data rate,etc. What are
the importance of these spec and how it affect the hdds' performance?
If u have any opinion about scsi drive pls let me know.
Thanks a lot!!!!
