IDE/ATAPI to SCSI Converters Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the duct-tape dept.

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."

    Logitech is giving away 20,000 cordless keyboards and mice. Still plenty of time to snag one. There are 66 being given away every freaking minute. -Your FiPi Friend (who just broke rule #1)

      I know you'll get modded down OT, but thanks for the info. Even the non-winning 20% off coupon ain't bad.

      A tip: RELOAD works fine (ie and netsacpe) as does going back to the previous page and pressing space or clicking (explorer). You'll eventually win. It can take a bit of time.

    It isn't, the editors can't be bothered to read their own site.

    Is Slashdot relevant?

  11. Re:ISA Adapters by Grip3n · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This isn't really possible. Many devices that use the PCI 2.1 specification require a certain speed to transmit the data they process. ISA simply doesn't not have the ability to transmit the data at that rate. This would lead to system crashes, lockups and even a degration in your system performance.

    Why has an IDE to SCSI adapter taken so long to come out? Because now IDE can transmit data at the same rate - if it would have come out any sooner it would just have created more headaches.
