Subject: 10K SCSI vs 7200 IDE

Author: Slater Wold

Date: 22:32:31 01/15/02


Just wanted to see how much of a difference it made.  I thought some, but not
much.  Even though the seek times on my SCSI drives are twice what they are on
my 7200 RPM IDE drives.  However, it made a lot more difference than I thought.

I ran several tests, and this is just the best example:
