SCSI -> SATA

Since those large SCSI HDDs are outrageously expensive, would something like this work:

linky

those slim sata cables are just sooo cool   :-)
Better sorry than worry.

@B00tDisk
um, yes and how do I connect it to Oktagon/Fastlane/MKI ??

@justthatgood
IMHO, those new high capacity SATA disk that cannot really be slower than SCSI ones that are in the same price range. especially not on Amiga where CPU/bus is limiting the speed (not considering A1)
error detection?? wouldn't really worry about that too, they have probably improved it after so many years of development. besides if something fails its probably gonna be mechanical error and that part is identical in scsi/(s)ata, right?

thats nice but you don't use Amigas at work, and Amiga is mostly not used as server.. :roll:

I'd feel more comfortable to run 7200rpm (or even better 2.5" 5400rpm!)HDD for 24/7 than some 10-15k rpm. yeah they probably use better bearings but still..
besides, those things probably heat up a lot and draw a lot of power.
