bye bye scsi.
I would loved to keep it and goten a 15k drive, but its jsut insane. the good ones only come in 36g and are insanly priced.
so system went from this:
36g 10k quantom, 40x Wide plextor, 16x burner, 6x slot dvd (all scsi ofcourse)
to this:
200g 8meg WD, 56x benq, 48x benq, and 16x benq dvd.

I think scsi is cool, but it's overrated, and overpriced. It beats IDE hands down tho.

it was a fun ride while I I was on it. 4-5 years. started back with a p200 or something on my first Iwill board, had onboard scsi.
Oh, I dont think scsi is over rated at all, it is so awsome. at least the latest and greatest. I was hoping to hold out till ide drives were 10k, but ohwell.

Man those WD drives are so overrated. Mine was only worthy of being put in my Xbox. Seagate X-15 all the way for the PC as far as I am concerned.

Like hell these WD drives are overrated... They blow a standard 2 meg cache drive out of the water... I went from a Raid 0 setup with Maxtro d740x's to the 120gig 8meg WD SE and benchmark wise this WD isn't much slower than my raid setup was... Now i can see if you go from scsi to this drive you'll think it slow which yeah it will be cause it isn't scsi... but for IDE its smokin!

hell, I'm "SCSI-ing" up!
I just picked up a 68-pin Plextor CD-ROM off of fleaBay for my workstation-to-be (Tyan Thunder 2500 with LSI U2W)... but this Seagate 18.2 gigger will have to do for now...
