- 80 pin to 68 pin converter question
- Posted by Chris on January 12th, 2008
Hello all,
I built a new computer (for home use) and I wanted really fast drives
so I bought 15K RPM Ultra 320 SCSI drives
Hitachi Ultrastar HUS153014VL3800 and FUJITSU Enterprise MAU3073NC
and
I bought a Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D. I didnt realize at the time that
the drives were 80 pin.
So I couldnt use them at the time I got together the rest of my parts
so I just threw in a IDE drive till I get this all sorted out and I
need some advise.
So I understand I need a 80 pin to 68 pin converter to make these
drives usefull to me I guess. From what I have researched so far I
found that I cant find a 80 pin SCSI cable and 80 pin SCSI controller
card.
So I guess my main question is.... Am I better off just buying SATA
drives or will these drives still out perform SATA drives even
thought
they will have to be connected via a 80 to 68 pin converter.
Thanks,
Chris

80 pin is intended to mate with a backplane. Adapters are available.
80 pin is essentially 68 pin plus a few extra for power.
You'd have to define "better off" to get a good answer to your question.
The adapter should have no effect on the drive's speed.

Do not post multiple messages to different groups.
A recent 15K SCSI drive will outperform any 7200 SATA drive.

Yeah Im just talking performance. is converting it making it lose any
of its read time, seek time, throughput, etc...
