SCSI question!

With out even looking at your system, I can tell you it doesn't support SCSI. You will need to buy an additional controller card. But why on earth would you want such small drives. Spend the money on a pair of huge drives and run them in a RAID. Trust me, the performace difference wouldn't be noticable.

EDIT

Or a pair of WD Raptors :P
 
I actually am doing that to I'm getting a 15000rpm atlas and an pci scsi controller card I found one for $30..The atlas I seen refurbished for $90 but not in stock no more so I might wait..average latency of the altas 2ms blazing fast even faster than the 2.99ms raptor.

Which doesnt make much of a difference... a 500GB or a Seagate 750GB will have faster read times, because the platters are more full.
 
there are no drives equal in speed to the 15,000 rpm scsi drives


but I certainly see your point on size for $70.00 you can get a 250 gig sata drive thats 7200 rpm its close to as fast as the scsi which will be very expensive if its anywhere near the 147 gig mark


I am running 4 scsi drives now >>>> all 15,000

and a WD 200 gig sata drive
 
watch your interfaces on your drives you have choosen one that is a Serial connected drive (sas) and one that is a 80 pin drive most popular scsi adapter cards are 68 pin


you will need to have a LVD scsi cable to connect the drives to the controller


I suggest the adaptec 29160n controller card

by the way those prices are a tad rough

I bought this drive for cheaper and LOVE it its the fastest hard drive in the industry

these are great people to buy from! I have bought several new drives from them happy as hell with all of them!

thanks joe for the heads up..I have a friend that has a raptor so I know how fast that is.. a real difference in load times way better than an 7400 rpm drive
I thought the scsi drive would even be faster than the raptor..nothing can be worse than my 6 year old 5400rpm ide maxtor anyways...I don't care about drive size I'm just going to put windows on some games on it for faster times..the drive in your link is out of my price range..I was going to buy refurbished atlas 15000rpm 74gb for $90 but their not in stock now..
