Amiga SCSI Howto?

All my 160 GB (UWSCSI) is usable when I occasionally load OS3.1...

Phase5 SCSI implementations are pretty well behaving with large medias, as long as you use filesystem that support them.

@motorollin

I'd avoid anything as old as SCSI-I drives.

as far as I understand it all scsi devices have legacy support  so you could use any scsi device. My main drive is a U160 drive running on a scsi II interface just put a 68-50 pin adapter on the drive

@doctorq:

SCA is just Wide SCSI plus power in one connector to allow hotswap.

SCA is just Wide SCSI plus power in one connector to allow hotswap.

But apparently slower than non SCA drives.

Have thought about buying a couple of SCA drives, but now I'm glad I didn't.

Not true.  The same model 68pin will be the same speed SCA.

@doctorq:

The article is pure rubbish. He compares different harddrives and claims part of the difference in speed is the SCA adapter. On what grounds - merely his own beliefs, he doesnt present any facts.

The SCA adapter is just an electrical adapter and will not make the drive slower!
