I have just ordered a 60 Gig Maxtor ATA 100 drive (ATA 133 is also
available) I have done this because it is far cheaper than buying
another 36 gig drive to go on my U160 SCSI channel. I can get the Maxtor
drives for around 60 UK pounds, which means I could buy 4 of these IDE
drives for the same price as a Quantum U160 36gig drive!
One thing to remember about Ide if you decide to give the drive a
beasting is to cool it with a slim cooler.

I would recommend to buy a U-160 SCSI ... from e-bay ... I have just
done this to integrate the other 3 U-160 I have and I have bought for
102US $ a 18GB IBM 10000 rpm brand new under warranty. A 36GB 10000rpm
also IBM U-160 is rated for 170 US $ ...
Sincerely.

9.2.1 and 1GB of ram; I noticed that the internal HD is a slow 5400rpm
UltraAta HD; question: since I work only with Photoshop and my images
are about 60mb in size and I just have to open and save them during the
day (we process about 200 images/day), I was wondering what is the best
and effective way to speed up my work: buy a scsi external HD 10.000rpm
(total cost about 650 UK pounds), OR buy an internal UltraAta 7200 rpm
(total cost about 250 UK pounds) ???

currently I am noticing that is taking a bit to access the HD.
