scsi or sata ?

serial ATA is best for simple, single-disk servers and desktop and workstation configurations that can benefit from disk-striping setups, such as multimedia editing stations. At this point, despite the lower price, it's really not suited for use in enterprise-class servers.

Spend your money on SCSI and rest easy. SATA does make an appealing alternative to low-end (i.e., desktop) SCSI setups, which have been more or less eclipsed by ATA/IDE as a whole for some time now and should flourish nicely there.

So you have to ask yourself what would be fit for purpose?

interesting reply thank you . Im a bit of a "power freak so im told" so i might go for scsi but im only on desktop is that a bit too much for desktop comp.. ?

If you went with SATA, you would notice the difference in speed and you would have no problems running any application on a desktop machine.

cool and scsi even better

hey robbro i really like the sata better than tbe scsi. scsi is fast but sata has got the scsi beat by a longshot in my opinion. i have seen what they can do. but that is just my opnion.
