texte = Not necessarrily, (initially, no argument) SCSI is a tried and true technology and has proven to last longer. I'll bet my lunch there is significant difference in customer support demands between SCSI and ATA IDE. I managed a Solarus machine (2cd half of its life) that controled a SCSI drive stack. These drives spun non-stop for 8 years before the first one had to be replaced! (the NVRAM went out before the second drive did ;-). Good ole seagate. (the drives are still spinning as I passed the torch to someone else (now about 10 years old). They are now making god-awfull grinding noises :-) Honestly, my problem is probably something indifferent between SCSI and ATA. It is a bit more of a science when talking about drives in Lap-Tops, less noise, vibration, perhaps more heat, tighter specs for less space etc. So I'm not yet making a plot to destroy apple (for employing IBM drives) ;-). btw, I may sound long winded, This is because I'm waiting for my HD to be delivered today and have nothing better to do until it arrives. :-) Donovan Kenneth Grome wrote: > > >(why apple decided to put all their money into supporting ATA as opposed > >to SCSI > >is beyond my feeble intelect!) > > ATA is cheaper which makes it possible for apple to price their > products more competitively. > > -- > > Sincerely, > Kenneth Grome > ------------------------------------------------------------- > Outsource your WebDNA programming for $18 an hour or less! > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list
