36400MB IBM DRHS-336400LVD 2.85 cent/MB 25000MB IBM DJNA-352500 Janus 1.04 cent/MB I know, you get completely two different kinds of discs, but both basically store data. So, my formulation is, use SCSI if money is a secondary consideration. (Which is often the case. :) )
SCSI. SCSI is a much more flexible solution, and generally faster, less CPU-intensive, and more compatible. That is not really true. Well done DMA is about the same level than SCSI, IMHE, but SCSI is still superior in being able to post more than one command in pararrell.
