SCSI to SATA adapter?
« on: December 11, 2015, 10:52:06 PM »
So been thinking with SSD drives becoming the norm I was going to try one on my Video Toaster Flyer. Is there such a thing as an affordable SCSI to SATA adapter? Ive seen some but they are well over $100 and that seems outrageous.

another option might be:

That's an option for sure but not really cheap. I do like that it's all in one with the CF card. I guess some more research is needed.

This one looks interesting,

Would the transfer rate be fast enough, Any thoughts?

2mb per second, I wonder if thats fast enough? What was the old SCSI 2 transfer rate on the flyer card?

Here is the data I found on the flyer:

My concern is the transfer speed, its only 2.5mbps where SCSI2 is between 10 - 20mbps
