ok, new to the scsi thing as you might have guessed. it just seems to me that it's such a "yesterday" technology, why is it still in big demand? isn't sata better? (yes, I might just learn something here)
SCSI HDs are built to industrial standards and have much higher quality bearings and mechanical workings. They also can turn at up to 15,000 RPM. On the down side, they are hot, energy inefficient, and are difficult to configure. SCSI is like a Hummer in a Prius world.
