I want to add a 2nd hd to my pc
 

Yo check it out.....

I f i get a scsi controller for the second hd is this juicy?


I will be doing some video work yoooo.


Scsi gives me a hardon

or should i just get another beefed up pc with alot of ram and beefy hd's?

I have no idea. My 2nd HD isn't SCSI.

Unless you use it as a server I see no need to use SCSI disks in a regular pc.

Regular HD's are fast enough.

cool

Is it better for the second HD to chain it on the same ribbon as the primary and make it a slave?

Or get a external one and shit?

I have a slave, and it's cool.
Dunno about other options.

I have my newest computer setup using a SCSI drive..

Its just 36 GB, 10000 RPM.. I use it for the OS and install all my programs on that drive.

I also have a 160 GB IDE drive for data.

Seems to be pretty cool so far, but not reeally NECESSARY for everyone. :)

Just plug it in, set it to slave and autodetect it in your Bios.

You'll have no problems.

And make sure the new disk isn't from teh brand Western Digital or seagate they are crap :D

Just avoid sharing the same ribbon as a CD-ROM/DVD, etc...

It'll usually kill the performance of the HD connected to it.

Go get a new PC :D

I think i better open up the pc and see what i have to work with exactly.....

Juicy, it's really simple to add a second HD - just slave it to the first, and use the same ribbon cable, man. Both HDs will have a little diagram that tells you what the jumper settings need to be on the pins (found on the ass end, like the cable connections), so even a monkey like me can do it.

I would go with a 10k RPM S-ATA disk....you can find them with more then 120Gb of storage....they are as fast as a regular SCSI drive but with more storage

I use a slave and an external one, can't have enough disk space lol

I say the complete opposite - Seagate are the best drives on the market.

I haven't had any problems with either brand. Ever.

Im stuck with an External CDRW drive. Using Secondary Master and Slave for other Hard Drives. I agree, can't ever have enough disk space.

taking bets now on how bad i fuck shit up and make apost saying i fucked up my pc lolllllllllll
