. WHat kinds of SCSI hardrives can I use?

All of them, assuming you can physically connect them to your interface.

2. Whats the biggest size?

2TB (using SCSI direct and READ10).

0. Even though SCSI harddrives are more expensive, still it would be cheaper than buying an ACard and an IDE of the same capacity?

No.

@spihunter

What! You dare to question the sensibility of adding U320 15krpm drive to SCSI-2 controller? ;-)

Anyhoo, still that 10MB/s is without any CPU load, so it beats the excrement out of any IDE...

@leirbag28

Isnt the Blizzard SCSI module supposed to be Fast?

Fast SCSI yes. Fast SCSI is max 10MB/s.

is it faster than the normal 7200 rpm's on an IDE?

HDD RPM have nothing to do with HDD interface transfer speed.

As said already, Blizzard SCSI is faster than A1200 IDE. The best part is that it doesn't bog the CPU down, like A1200 PIO IDE does.

@HammerD

My peg2 does >50MB/s, and 90MB/s from the drive cache.
