PCI SCSI Controller card

just wondered if a scsi drive would match a sata drive for transfer rates?

never tried a scsi drive inthe past, as they used to be just for servers.

cant see a card that does more than 40mb/sec?? (transfer rate)

anything over 75mb/sec is worth looking at....100+ desirable


eBay item number:
221376842646

reasonable drive, but pointless if the controller card only allows 40mb/sec speeds!

<pc cant accept pci-e cards>

can upgrade the pc to accept sata 2 hdd. Not sure in practice what the transfer rate will come out as....

Sata 2 should be backwards comparable with sata 1 motherboards.

And you really don't want a 15k rpm SCSI drive in your machine, lol

`Sata 2 should be backwards comparable with sata 1 motherboards.`

true, although my pc froze up when i put in a 250gb sata 2 drive. think its didnt like the size of the drive , more than the sata controller; have had a 160gig sata 2 workingon this pc.

`15k rpm SCSI drive ` runs too hot? or just noisey? i have no exp of these drives tbh. (scsi)ALways been to expensive int he past.

they're loud

and can be expensive once you factor in a decent controller that doesn't suck
