SCSI 320 vs SATA Harddrive

[Joseph]

I do a lot of video editing as well as photo editing. I am thinking about
getting either a SCSI 320 ultra harddrive that runs at 15000 rpm or perhaps
a SATA harddrive that runs at 10000. Either harddrive will be just to have
the operating system and programs on it; all video editing data will be on
two other harddrives. Which harddrive would be better (in terms of speed)?

Thanks
Joseph

SCSI allows you to use the drives (any combination CD/DVD/HD) at the same
time (read/writes).

Most of the higher end graphics staition, from HP, uses SCSI.

AS for SATA (serial ATA), the tech. is new.

I did some research and I am definitely going to go with the ultra scsi 320
harddrive. All the reviews I read thus far had the maxtor altas 15 as the
fastest drive on the market.

My SCSI drive (by no means as fast as the one(s) you are considering) is
faster by a factor of 5 than my IDE drives, according to the speed tester
in Nero. This is after installation of Intel's Application Accelerator,
which only 'sees' IDE drives.

Hello

SCSI will always be much faster and besides tou can add much
more drives, so in the end SCSI would be much better and by all
means much faster, but FOR A PRICE.

Thanks Yves, Dr. Robin and Alvin for all the advice.

If the video editing data is on the slower drives, you are going to miss
most of the performance increase from going with the faster drive. You
would be far better off with your video data on the new, very fast drive and
your OS and programs on one of the slower ones. Ultimately the speed that
you can read and write the video data is going to make the biggest
difference in your performance. Either way, you should also make sure that
any "working directories" in your software are located on the new drive as
well.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the tip; I never thought of that but will definitely try it.
