Ezio,
If I read you right you're saying testing has shown that the 160SCSI drive

Rob , IDE drives are anyhow cheaper than SCSI , but SCSI
is not so expensive as you think.
That depends on where you are.
The average cost on eBay for an IBM Ultra160 18GB is around 250$ ... ;-)
And the controller around 175$ .. Adaptec 29160 (full not N).
Except I live in
If I read you right you're saying testing has shown that the 160SCSI
drive outperform an IDE Raid array by more than double.
Also, was this RAID with parity? Simple parity-less striping
gives a linear speedup in my experience (netBSD). Though you
want parity for long-term

Does anyone have any experience with the Maxtor Diamond Max 81.9 (EIDE)
GB 5400 rpm hard drive?

I've had (still have) quite a few Maxtor drives and all have been good, apart from one

My last h/d upgrade was from a 5400 to 7200 rpm
The access time difference is like night and day.

Anyone wanting more IO speed at a reasonable price might want to think about
an IDE array. Promise make an IDE RAID card - check

I've been doing upgrades lately, and in addition to going to a 950Mhz Athlon T-bird,
I paid an additional US$20 to get the RAID version of the ABIT KT-7 motherboard.

Question was:
Somewhat off topic: To store my scanned photos I want to add a second hard
drive.
I recommend the IBM DMA 100, 7200rpm drives (approx. 30, 40, or 70GB): fast,
quiet, reliable, sensibly priced. Scored firsts in most reviews.
