Carbo,those drives are scsi not ide!

 

[SonicFlux]

I just bought an X15 last night, lol!

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Those must be damn expensive

 

[LXi]

At last a competition to X15? I thought Quantum already has 15k rpm drives long time ago.

 

[Soccerman]

no LXi I don't think Quantum has a 15K RPM drive.

IBM's 15K RPM drive will surely be good competition in terms of transfer rate (after all, they are often the leaders of platter density wars), the question is, can they post seek times faster then a 10K2 (they could, if they're built right).

80MB/sec, 3.4ms seek.....my oh my.......

any guess to how much these baby will drop for?

Think of these puppies in a SCSI RAID setup.....

 

[scsifreak15]

Holy, i never knew they had Ultra320 SCSI.

That's a sweet drive. Once you switch to a higher-end HDD from a crappy one, there's no turning back. This was my case when moving from an older UDMA/33 drive to my IBM 75GXP. I'm not going to say the brand because I've been flamed for &quot;comparing&quot; it to my newer drive.

 

[scsifreak15]

Scsi is way too expensive and IDE is right behind it, cheaper by a lot too. I learnt my lesson when i bought 2 IBM 36LZX 18gb hdd and a 29160, i saw my credit card statement. It was just a bit what i thought it was going to turn out. I sold them as fast as i could. Sweet drives though

15,000 RPM...Stick a PELTIER on that badboy!

[jeffrey]

Geeeze ultra320 scsi!!!!!!!

 

[Hanpan]

Hmmm


me wants

 

[andrey]

I wouldn't mind having one of those, and actually if they'll be reasonable priced, one of those honeys will be a good pair to my Adaptec 29160 SCSI card
