SCSI may be older, but it is built on faster technology. SATA is a bit cheaper and a bit slower. I have the charts on my system.
On my PM G4 sawtooth, I have 2 tested drives plugged in. One's a 320GB EDIE plugged in through SCSI through an SCSI to EIDE adapter, and the other is the same version of the HDD, only SATA. Here are the results during file transfer: SCSI Maxed out at 355MB/s SATA Maxed out at 278MB/s Sent from my Power mac G4 Sawtooth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
