Go up one level in this thread



I posted here a while back, I went to 10k SCSI drives, and EGTB access speed up
about 14% and eval speeded up about 8%.

7200 IDE is crap.  ATA100 or not.

that has not been my experience. the latest ide drives
are badfast, reliable, quiet, cool and affordable.
scsi may be a little faster. with the fastest ide drives
that have the large cache, there will be very little
difference in a game or test position.
post a test position with your smp scsi, and we will
compare to my smp IDE times. it seems like we just did
a comparison of our two systems---according to your
post it was awfully close.

good reading at Tom's comparing scsi to ide.
