Title: Rounded SCSI cables - how bad are they?
Post by: Matt_H on August 22, 2012, 08:40:05 AM

I know rounded cables have been known to cause problems in a number of situations. Would the SCSI3 controller on the CSMk3 be susceptible to issues with them?

Thanks in advance...

From an Electrical Engineering perspective, yes!
In reality, no

Round cables can be fine if quality is OK...

IDE shouldn't use round cables but SCSI is much more robust and should be fine.

Only SCSI U160 or better support proper CRC32 ..!

SAS or S-ATA is designed to be small from the start..
