- I posted this to comp.periphs.scsi and received zero replies, so
- now I'm trying here.
-
-
- In the case of hard disk drives, does fast SCSI provide a significant
- performance increase over plain SCSI? One controller vendor suggested
- that fast SCSI pushes the envelope and is more succeptible to failure
- and for our purposes will provide no benefit. Their controller
- supports fast SCSI, but they claim plain SCSI will perform just as
- well for our application (Unix server with disk attached to intelligent
- caching controller).
-
- Can anyone comment?
-
- Thanks.
