I was just wondering...I have always been a little obsessed with SCSI, and always think about how cool it would be to have an ultra wide SCSI interface and drive for high transfer speeds...but is hard disk speed really THAT important?
Obviously for servers, for direct to hard disk recording, etc it is...but is my, and no doubt others', obsession with speed a but needless? I mean, if I have an 060 in my A1200 and still use the mobo IDE controller, will I even notice the fact that it ain't as fast as it could be?
I currently get about 70 MB/s (not a misprint) from my IDE raid, thats 3 uncompressed streams of D1 video out my VT[3]. Is that faster that what you are going to see from a single Ultrawide SCSI?? Yeah it is, in fact I have those in there too, its just until I Raid0 them together, they are slower then the IDE configuration. EIDE & SATA raid PCI cards are easily available and prevent most of the shortcomings of those formats.
