SCSI two cards or one?

[stickyctrlkey]

Hi,

I have two Adaptec SCSI cards. One ASC-29160 and one ASC-19160. I have
two Seagate Cheetah X15-36LP ST318452LW Ultra160 SCSI 15000rpm drives.
My Mobo is a Tyan tiger dual cpu Tyan Tiger MPX S2466N-4M Motherboard.

Would it be a faster setup to run each drive on separate cards, or run
both drives on the same card? I want to put my operating system on one
drive, and my applications on the other.

Run them both on the ASC-29160. They will have plenty of headroom on that card.

I'd put them both on the same card, in a 64-bit slot. Those drives aren't fast enough to max out a U160's bandwidth.

One card.
