So I guess in this case, the controller would be my limiting factor, and I'll just save up for a more modern one. Isn't throughput for IDE drives controlled the same way, just with a little more marketing BS about ATA100/133?On 11/12/2002 09:39 PM, Bob Raymond wrote:From what I find, I think I'll pass this one up- mainly because it seems to only support up to 132mb/s transfer rates. Unless SCSI actually would deliver that sort of throughput, I see no reason to get it as I already have the normal two connectors on the motherboard that claim ATA/133, and then an extra four on a Highpoint 374 IDE raid controller (supporting eight devices) built into the motherboard also claiming ATA133. Of course, I've never seen higher than 43 mb/s transfer, but that's a pretty decent speed out of my IBM Deskstar 120GXP.
SCSI throughput is controlled by two factors:
1) The drive
2) The controller
Most recent SCSI drives can go as fast as 160mb/s. However, the older controllers are more than likely not going to be able to do more than 40 or 80mb/s.
