I'd rather run 5 SATA cables then one SCSI cable (say 68pin) with
multiple heads... The darn SCSI cables are so thick,
comparatively, that running them in your case is a lot harder :-)
Well everyone's mileage may vary. Parallel cables only work nicely
when you have a stack of

Hi Chris,
I have many of the same questions. SATA is plenty fast for home
systems and modern drives are smoking stuff that was enterprise class
just a few years ago. 'twas ever thus.
Cables are a nightmare IMHO. This was by far the reason I've been a
big fan of SCSI for a long time.

Maybe this helps.
Kind regards

I've found that scsi isn't exceptionally faster given similar RPMs, or
even slightly higher RPM (ex. a 10K RPM SCSI vs. 10K RPM SATA drive
would have simlar performance). However, SCSI tends to high tighter
standards, and you get the following advantages, which in some cases
are worth the money,

Another thing that I read that I'm not completely sure about. Some of the
Adaptec SCSI Cards advertises a max of 30 devices - some even more. Excuse the
ignorance, but does the SCSI Bus not allow for a max of 8 devices? Do these
cards then feature multiple buses to connect the cables to? If
