Moreno, on my desk right now I have 4 x 18.2 SEALED NEW IBM U-SCSI-3 bought from PCPARTSINC www.pcpartsinc.com who is a legitimate dealer and more over is a Company so Police and FBI can go and inspect whenever they want. Eache of the drives costed 100$ and they NEW + SEALED + UNDER 3 Years warranty worldwide (I am in Italy and I have already used the warranty on an EXPENSIVE 36GB U-SCSI-160 with free substitution)
Sometimes the world is dynamically changing and paradigms are not fitting to everything for every situation. Sincerely.

Faster than any IDE , multiple access at the same time and greater number of units for the same number of controllers. Price is NOT a problem ... I have already bought 4 x 18.2 IBM 10,000rpm SCSI-3 for 95$ each (on eBay) << Putting eBay aside, if you buy from a legit dealer, you can expect to pay four to five times as much, per gigabyte of storage, when you choose SCSI over IDE. There was a time when SCSI performance was much higher than IDE, but that gap has narrowed considerably over the last few years. A 100mb Photoshop meg file takes about 4 seconds to open with a pair of striped IDE drives. A pair of SCSI drives may do it in 3.5 seconds, but is it worth 4x the cost? Or would you rather have 4x the storage for the same amount of money? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
