Ultimate Storage Device For A4K
Hello All,
I used to have an A1200T. That was stolen in a burglary; but I have since been given a CS '060 and SCSI module. If you were going to do an A4K tower conversion in this day/age, what would you use for dh0: Would you buy a SCSI HDD; get an Ultra ATA controller, (with/without SATA adaptor); or get something completely different like a SSD? Cheers. |

i would go scsi personaly much faster than ide and less cpu time used in transfers.
you could even use a scsi ide bridge although this will be expensive. but........ide is cheaper for storage capacity and worth using with fast ata controller with a ide harddrive or compact flash solution or even a sata bridge. i wouldent get an ssd drive as you wouldent really see the benifit of having one and it is expensive. the choice is yours really. |

Another solution for SCSI is the awesome SCSI to CF/SD/PCMCIA adapter (clicky)!
It's a tad bit expensive, but it works like a dream when using a CF card as the HDD. This means fast read/write *and* no accoustic noise. You can also set it up with a PCMCIA<->CF adapter so you can hotswap for easy file transferring. |

I'm using SCSI-IDE solutions in all my big box Amiga's now, if you prowl Amibay you can pick them up for as little as £25-£40 and slap on an 20-40-80gb IDE HDD, I use the slim Seagate 7200rpm drives and they work a treat
