w00t scsi drives!

Gamma_Goblin · 09-March-03, 09:05 PM

heh i just got myself 2 new scsi drives!!
1 7200 RPM Quantum Atlas IV that is 18 gigs. then 1 IBM Ultrastar 10k RPM 18 gig drive (ultra 320, but the toehr is ultra 160 so i had to get a converter from 160-320

)

my reasons for doing this was mostly because the opportunity came up for me to get them cheap (relativelY) so anyways, i was just curious how many of ya here at PR are running SCSI drives

and if so, what speed, size, and connector.

brandon

the drives are sweeet but run hella hot!!

i could heat my house w/ one in the winter!!

4x 15,000rpm 73gb SCSI320 RAID Config 0 drives yeah no biggie (I F***ing WISH) anywayz you should benchmark with those and c how much faster you run with them especialy the 10k rpm drive

BigAkita · 10-March-03, 12:49 AM

HD Tach is the standard to test drives with.

Gamma_Goblin · 10-March-03, 01:10 AM

yea i got HDtach awhile ago, but i don wanna pay to use it, but it looks like in gonna have to, cuz it dont work on my drives taht are "Microsoft NT"

KeeflA · 10-March-03, 03:04 PM

If you scroll down the threads a bit on this section you will see a post by me called "Need SCSI expert"...yah...I put a 9 gig 80pin SCSI HD to my girl's 233 to load songs and vids onto...its hooked to a 80-50pin conntector, then to a 50 pin PCI card...even rigged like that its still FAST...i dont have any numbers but its a lot better then running em off the IDE drive...

use intel's iometer. you can find work files at storagereview.com and 2cpu.com

i have a few scsi drives, ultra2, 3 and 4 (3 and 4 are otherwise known as u160 and u320) u320 is backwards compatible with u160, there should be no need for an adaptor unless you have different pin orientations, like a VHDCI 68 pin and a 80 pin or a VHDCI 68 and a wide68

Gamma_Goblin · 13-March-03, 04:15 AM

sry i don know what i was thinkin. now that i think it is a wide 68 (ive been doin lots of scsi card sales lately. been a lil scsi'ed out

)

heh also ya know whats cool? i got some bad@$$ cables like the ones @ scsipro.com (for free outta the trash!!!)

Very nice setup man!!
I have a Seagate Cheetah 15k Ultra160 80-pin 36GB and an Adaptec 29160 Controller card. LOVE this HD. WOW!! good job on the free cables Gamma!!

anime-fan-man · 21-March-03, 02:35 PM

For heat problems. I used a huge heatsink and fan assembly to cool my new 120 gig hd and my old 40 gig. they used to run at 160"F and now run at 89 "F.
