SCSI Wuzzy Help! ACard How big large can I have a Scuzz?

@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.

[Zac67]

Modern IDE drives (utilizing perpendicular recording) exceed 100 MB/s.

PS: make that SATA(2)

Hmmm, that sounds good already, as I wish I could play animations while loading others without the animation thats playing slowing down while I am loading another. Such as in SCALA.

This would be loevely indeed.

Would the Blizzard SCSI be as fast or faster than...........lets say the SCSI in the A3000?

when I open up a partition..the icons load fast!

Faster than the stock A3000 SCSI controller, yes. The Blizzard SCSI kit is the best drive interface for the A1200, short of the Blizz PPC SCSI.

Best IDE interface IMO (from a cost vs performance standpoint) is the IDE-Fix "Express".
