Message text written by James Sanderson "I didn't go this route so I can't really tell you if this is the way to go. I continued using SCSI internally but bought a 20 gig, 10,000 rpm Cheetah that made me think I had a new 7300. I was running OS X on the 7300 with a drive that was rated at 7200 rpm and found that boot up time was cut in half, that programs ran faster overall. But if you need super space perhaps buying a SIIG from OWC with one of those drives would be your best bet. Then again. for us, we may be limited by the PCI bus speed for throughput. If this is wrong someone out there should correct me." -------------------- End Original Message -------------------- Is your Cheetah on an UW SCSI card? That would make it twice as fast. I have managed to get up to 21MB/sec through the PCI bus of my 7500. That doesn't limit your Cheetah which does about 17 MB/sec. It might limit a 15000rpm disk a little.
