IDE/ATAPI to SCSI Converters Reviewed
Anonymous Coward writes "Seems that someone has finally come out with IDE/ATAPI to SCSI converters to bridge the gap between the high-cost SCSI world and the low-cost IDE world. Addonics is the company and LinuxHardware.org has a full review of these two devices. The review does a good job of laying out installation and performance. These are just what I've been looking for and although a little pricey, they seem to do the job."
Now I won't have to use that cheapo zip zoom card. Cause, we are sure that this tech will have fewer bugs than any old cheap scsi card.
You mean now I can buy low quality IDE devices and pay losts of money to hook them up to my scsi system? Where do I sign up?
...with integrated Babelfish-like translation on the chip so that all my data is written to a SCSI drive in Engrish.
I didn't know that the IDE cable, and interface is what "slowed" IDE hard drives down?
Can an adapter and SCSI cabling really make my Maxtor 5400RPM go 160MB/second?
you'd think a scientist would do some research before upgrading ;)
It seems to me (I may be wrong) that the only market for something like this would be for some backwards compatibility and perhaps the odd person that just wants a 10,000 RPM drive.
Dude, wait till I get to the LAN party with one of these. Inside my PC (don't worry, look through the window!) just behind the cold cathode is a 15,000 RPM SCSI drive, running beside my IDE RAID array of 320GB!
As if my 30 fans weren't loud enough, now I have this SCSI screamer, which adds a really cool effect I like to call 'smoke' coming out the PSU.
Is that a real poncho? I mean, is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
Now I can have the reliability of IDE for the cost-effectiveness of SCSI!
Oh, wait...
