SATA or SCSI ????

Question

im talking about speed and reliability. and price,too. and about girls (but not with this occasion).

Answer 1

You need to weigh up the 'ideals' of each item,.. they both have their drawbacks and benefits,.. let e give you a couple of examples,..

SATA is pretty fast, reliable, cheap and commonplace, doesn't usually get hot. Some can, but you can buy 'caddies' for them or even specifially-designed coolers for them.

BUT

SCSI is MUCH faster, just as reliable but more expensive, (that fruitcake who said SCSI was cheap is an idiot, ignore it), can run hot, but a good cooler should put pay to any problems like that.

For much more detailed look at these,.. check the link I've given you below, this should help you. :)

Answer 2

SATA is the current bog standard type of drive built into ready made base units. Far superior to the old IDE drives, but SCSI is the fast beast, but expensive and can be tricky to configure. Bear in mind its only a storage system and its the rest of the system that really determines speed....processor, ram, graphics card, bus chipsets

Answer 3

sata would be your best bet.
not as fast as scsi, but a hell of a lot easier.
one cord from the drive to the motherboard, no jumpers, no iD's to set up, just literaly plug and play (if u plan on installing an operating system please remember that you will need a floppy drive (xp) to install the sata drivers during install)

now scsi is faster (drives usually run at 10k - 15k rpm, but arwe much noisier)
and you have to buy a seperate scsi card for your pc, set up jumpers and id's and so on, and you still need to do the drivers during instal.



so simply SATA!!!
RAID if possible

Answer 4

SATA would be the ideal if you want the most speed possible.

Answer 5

scsi is for old servers. no 1 rly uses scsi nemore

Answer 6

i would go with SATA

Answer 7

Scuzzy, cheap and quick
