SCSI vs. IDE In The Real World

An anonymous reader writes "Gerard Beekmans has a really good comparison of the speeds of IDE and SCSI drives up over on devchannel.org. Should help put an end to the myth of IDE erasing SCSI's speed advantage." Note that Beekmans' test handicaps the SCSI disk a bit, with interesting results. (DevChannel, like Slashdot, is part of OSDN.)

You clearly are not elite

[Anonymous Coward]

With my Gigabyte GI-8IHXP motherboard, I am able use SCSI and IDE drives as is my wont. Also, I can make use of my gig of rdram. Yeah, bitches, my box is so elite that you can all bow down. I run RAID like a motherfucker, clearly, but that doesn't erase the fact that my box ownz all of your pathetic 386 debian crapfests.

Take note: You are owned.

Oh yeah, does your "elite" box have a G5 in it? Didn't think so. So your claim to be leet is, in fact, a lame clame, which makes you a lamer, which is worse than being owned. Face it, gimp, Apple products kick ASS, and no amount of whining on the part of a lame PC user will change that fact. Now go home and cry to your mommy.

I caint recon' dis kinda' bullshit gits posted on Slashdot. 4 dose-dair who didn't eyeball da article (down low, an' I know u r out dair), da guy compared how long it snatchs t' jimmey wassups maildir stash in Mutt on S-C-S-fuckin'-I an' den I-D-fuckin'-E. Sheeeiit.

Since it went fasta' on wassups SCSI roll, he concludes dat SCSI be fasta'. Wow! How comprehensive!

I smoke cigars, and feel just fine.

My coworker eats life-savers, and has been diagnosed with skin cancer.

I conclude from this experiment that life savers cause cancer, but cigars are ok.
