Hard Drive question

[the_tai]

i've been doing some research on different hard drives trying to find a decent one to purchase. I see that there are present SATA and SCSI Hard Drives. is it true that SCSI is superior to the SATA but holds more of a risk? And is the SATA 300 MB/s bandwidth much of a difference from the SCSI 320MB/s?

SATA is brand new.

SCSI Is not built into modern motherboards.

get SATA

 

[turtile]

SCSI is more reliable, has faster speeds and cost a ton more. Its not meant for consumers. SATA is.

 

[b1gapl]

SATA is also more compatible because usually with SCSI you have to get a controller card for them.

 

[doox00]

scsi is faster, louder, more expensive and more reliable

SCSI is used generally for servers. I doubt you would notice the difference, except for the diff in $$$
