I'd like to get feedback on Seagate Cheetah drives. The specific
model in
this case is the ST118202.
Does the model # end with LC or LW? IIRC, the LC model is an Ultra2
LVD drive with 68 pin connector and is available in true low-profile
(1") form factor. I'm currently using a LW model, which is a
half-height (1.6") SCA drive with 80 pin connector, in a B&W (via
80-to-68 pin adapter connected to Ultra2 SCSI controller card). The
Cheetah is a 10K drive with max data transfer rate of 80 MB/sec, so I'd
use it with at least an UltraWide controller (such as ATTO ExpressPCI
PSC, 40 MB/sec) for best results. And use a terminated drive cable.
