Digital BW, The Print

hi Mark -
 
Thanks for taking the time to answer. 
 
Yes, the SCSI drives I'm considering are the Ultra 160, and the Adaptec
drive that works with them. The 15,000 rpm scratch disk is as fast a
drive as you can buy.
 
I didn't know there was a problem with IBM drives, but I'll watch out
for that. If I go IDE, I'll probably use Western Digital.
 
cheers,
Richard

I'm on a Mac, so things will be different for you, but I've heard 
about some issues with some of the IBM IDE drives, especially 
the 75gig model. I think there might even have been a 
class-action suit related to them. The warranty on IDE drives is 
shorter, I've heard, but I don't know about all of them. 

If you go SCSI, I'd go for fastest SCSI, maybe the SCSI 160. If 
you're gonna mess with all the SCSi witchcraft, you might as well 
get the speed boost. But the money is much more for SCSI, but 
I'm sure you know that.

For the record, I have that IBM75 as my second drive, and it's 
working fine. But I've got my eye on it.
