anyone knows where to buy this IDE-to-SCSI converter?

**regilsolon** · 07-26-2005, 09:03 PM

murag wala man goro baligya diri brad ? ..di bahh usually .. scisi is for server lang..don't tell imo hard disk nga scsi itaod nimo sa ide for desktop or imong scsi nga server himoon nimo og ide.. curios lang ko brad ngano naka huna ka anah.. (di bahh any of them call you expert)..i think you online goro brad.

hmmm...

don't u realize the performance/reliability gain if ur IDE HD runs on SCSI bus?

Data posted on some Linux sites suggest some performance gains, IF you get it to work with your converter. Googling on the topic reveals some additional workarounds for incompatible converter and hdd combinations.

In response to a previous post, a home user can certainly use a SCSI-based disk sub system if he can afford it. Really useful for video editing and other activities that involve intensive disk usage. My home desktop computer was built around a SCSI subsystem (for booting the OS) along with a RAID-based storage (for flexible disk configuration). Alternatively, one can use a RAID-based IDE solution that involves disk spanning to achive performance comparable to SCSI standards. However, the newer SATA disks can perform at comparable, or even better speeds than SCSI disks. YMMV.

TRUE...

Besides, SCSI hard drives normally cost around 5 times more than IDE hard drives for the same capacity.

But if you have an IDE hard disk + IDE-SCSI converter, the overall cost is still very very much lower than buying a similar capacity SCSI hard disk.

About SATA hard drives, these can never be faster than SCSI.

Hard drive access speed is in this order: PATAÂ* (or IDE) --- SATA --- SCSI

I am not going to join the debate about which is faster, but there are data out there to suggest that under certain environments and well-defined configurations, SATA (RAID attached or otherwise) can perform equally, if not surpass SCSI subsystems for certain applications (database vs. streaming meda). Bottomline, give me the fastest spinning platters in a disk array---that's what I will vote for.

Aight, any local dealers for the IDE-SCSI converter?

Wala sa PCX and TTI man gud. Kon palit ta sa gawas, patyon sad ta sa freight cost.

You can probably take a look at MSI's iRAM solid state solution.

i suppose you would still need a SCSI disk controller for this?

**ruelnov** · 07-30-2005, 09:42 PM

yes, but I already have a SCSI Card (PCI) and SCSI cable.

btw, i sent u pm bro about ur sdram.

thanks a lot.
