Well, I was talking with a guy about servers the other day. I was a bit shocked whenever I asked him if there was any significant difference between SCSI and SATA and why he always uses SCSI. (note, I'm not sure if by SCSI he meant SAS)
He told me that...

Here's an interesting article I read a while back comparing the two ( http is totally BS .

LTO is effectively the standard tape technology:
Quantum LTO2 tape drive: $829.00 15 LTO2 tapes: $30*15 = $450.00 PCI-E SCSI card: $160 format.
I'd suggest a SAS or SCSI LTO3/LTO4 drive.
Is a horrible format).

Rebooting Windows is the answer..

Hi,
I have an Adaptec AHA-2940UW SCSI adapter, to which I connected a single Atlas 10K III drive (and nothing more). When my computer loads up, the pre-OS Adaptec screen shows (I believe this is called the POST screen), where I can see the Atlas drive...

I changed the controller ID to 7 (from 6) and the HD only shows once now .

I'm looking to possibly upgrade the SCSI drive in my Power Mac 8500. What type of SCSI drive should I be looking for? I'm a little bewildered by wide SCSI, ultra SCSI, sooper-dooper SCSI, etc.
Are all these newer SCSI standards backward compatible with...

So stick to the conventional third-height size.
Any 50-pin SCSI drive will do, as well as any that can be converted to 50-pin such as many 68-pin ventilate.

Has anyone successfully used SCSI mapping to present a SCSI tape drive to a VM for backup purposes? My servers do not support VMDirectIO (VT-d), so I can't present the PCI device to the VM, and my Adaptec 39160 is not supported in ESXi4. Before I spend...

Plan for your ESXi box to address this tape drive? Don't forget with ESXi there's now COS to load license, if so I think you'd be better off backup up via the to a second machine with the tape drive.
