Question:
Your basic, run-of-the-mill 50-pin SCSI hard drive (like Quantum, Seagate, etc.); how fast does the disk spin?
On the 68-pin and 80-pin SCSis, I always see the speed rating (7200rpm, 10,000rpm). So what is the "standard" speed for HDs?
Thanks,
One of the Hardware Hell link sites I looked at this morning said that the Quantum Fireball drives spun at 4800 but were equal in overall performance to many 5400 rpm drives.
I think many SCSI 50 pin drives run at 7200 rpm.
