Fujitsu 15000RPM SCSI HDD!!!

[BigAndy]

Lo everybody!

I just wondering if anyone had to deal with FUJITSU 15000RPM SCSI drives?

Is there any way to connect them to the SATA motherboard or you need special board?

Cheers

Need an SCSI controller card+ cables... The cards in particular arent cheap.

I reckon the days of SCSI as performance disks are more or less over. Raptor 150s offer most of the performance.

i still like scsi over sata but thats me

As others have said you need a good quality controller, ideally PCI-e, to take advantage of the speed such scsi drives offer. Not worth the price increase over SATA IMO.

Dell Perc4/e with 128mb onboard cache

PCI-E and around £80 from the bay

Sounds like a bargain - how much are the drives?

Thats where i got my scsi card in my sig from bout 80 quid, still need to set it up properly tho.

Dont know real world figures performance wise compared to raptors or u320scsi but the new serial attached scsi (SAS) drives have the max theoretical transfer speeds. (Think its 600mbs)

Is this actually x16 or just PCIe slot bridged back?

AFAIK SCSI is only really worth it in a server situation where the complex algorithms allow them to maintain performance with many data requests.

Better money to get a couple of raptors if speed is your thing, 1 for windows and the swap-file and one for data.
