If you choose to use IDE,
you will get the best performance if you install a single device on each channel.
If you want the best performance possible from your disk subsystem, you should
consider using either a Serial ATA (SATA) or a small computer system interface (SCSI)
disk controller and drive. Both of these systems address many of the shortcomings
of IDE and provide better performance.
. Data transfer rate??”Over the years, many types of hard disk interfaces have been
manufactured. Some interfaces are faster than others with respect to the amount of
data they can transfer. If you choose to use an IDEdisk interface, be sure to select
either an ATA100 or ATA133 system.
If you choose SCSI, you might find your choices a little more complicated. Over the
years, a variety of SCSI standards have been implemented, including SCSI I, SCSI II,
and SCSI III. Within the SCSI II and III standards, you can choose from Fast, Wide,
and Fast/Wide options. Although the variations can get confusing, you??™ll get the
best performance from a SCSI III Fast/Wide adapter and hard disk combination.
