Yummy, if I had any decent (or any) SCSI adapter for my 4000 , I would take one of the two 120GB SATA I have in my XP machine and put it in my Miggy I guess.

But hey, it's SCSI for performance.  I mean error detection and all that good jazz.  It's that why all the Video Toaster setup's I've seen call for SCSI ?? Isn't SATA just a weird variant of IDE.

Something I would think.

 :roll:

I myself never really thought of my two SATA drives Seagate Barracuda ST3120026AS and Seagate Barracuda ST3120023AS as that special.  Really I think they suck.  So far on my PC I've had them on a Promise Fasttrak S150 4 port RAID, and they ran like dogs (I bet it would have been only a marginal increase if I had them on a 66Mhz PCI.)  

I also had them one of my built on SATA Silicon Image controllers and they were like  :getmad: yuck.  What's even more is that I had my motherboard fail out on me, and I couldn't get the controller working to get stuff of the sata drive.  I've talked to a lot of recovery services and they really hate it when people bring them SATA drives to recover stuff off of them.

If I could, I would have me a U320 drive setup.  The only reason I would really use the SATA drives is the fact that they have slim data cable compared to normal IDE.
