GVP A4008 SCSI controller speed?

Ok that brings me to my next question. What is the best way to clone my old drive onto the new SCSI drive? This is an area I'm not familiar with on the Amiga.

I was going to simply copy the files over.

CLI>C:COPY OLD: NEW: ALL CLONE BUF=5000 QUIET

The buffer amount depends on the amount of Fast RAM (5000 = 2.5 MB) you have free and want to use.

When you use an SCSI 3 drive you will need Active Termination on the bus as it may not be recognized and even if it is, may have transfer errors.

When I have different HDD controllers in the same Amiga, I make one copy for each different device (I'm a simpleton), so I have an HDToolbox for the scsi.device and one for the gvpscsi.device (only the .info is changed with the device driver type).

You will want the most updated .device of each type (I use BoingBag #4 for the scsi.device) to get the drive size to show full capacity.  The wrong capacity works (once it is formatted wrong), but that is a sucky solution (IMHO).
