SCSI Ultra320, 80 pin OR 68 pin ???
 

I'm ordering up the first batch of available parts for building my new PCI Express, DDR2 ram, dream system and I'm a little confused rite now because I'm looking at the hard drives and see that there's 10,000RPM SCSI Ultra320 80 pin and 68 pin drives, so I'm kinda lost because I never dealt with SCSI before in my life, thus I have 2 different models to choose from, this

and this

What's the best way to go ?? I'm not planning on RAIDing rite now, I'm just gonna use the single drive.

Also, if anyone has any SCSI Ultra 320 card recommondations, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Come on, I'm sure that one of you people know this stuff :helpme

If not raid just go with the 68 pin the 80's are for the new larger drives with the new controllers.

I have 4, 68 pin 146 drives showing up in the AM, 400 per from Dell.

Thanks for the input and the link, I appreciate it. :thumbsup

68 pin the 80 pin drives are for hot swapable cases unless you bought a server case you dont have a use for 80 pin drives.

10,000 RPM Thats it? LOL


Look for the Raptor 15,000 RPM HD

usb 2.0 please

:)

Ok excellent, now having 2 comments to run with 68-pin, I guess that's what I need to assure me to go that route.

I'm buying a Thermaltake tower -

Any recommondations for a SCSI card ???

Thanks for the comments Sandman :thumbsup

He he he, actually I did look at the 15,000 RPM drives, but from what I see, I don't think that they make them bigger than 73-gig rite now and to me, that's not big enough. PLUS for the same price as a 73-gig 15,000 RPM drive, I can get a 143-gig 10,000 RPM drive :)
