As the title says, preferably of 18gb size but any will do, if so can you please post your HDtach screenshot and is it loud?

thanks

138 average transfer rate?! or the burst speed? Post the whole screen shot and Im sure someone will be able to help.

Hi AndyC just post the image using ImageShack. Its not for me but I think my friend will probably go 68 pin. I saw a few cheetahs second hand, one 18gb 10k drive went for £4!
Thinking about getting one cheap for OS and apps.

Is the adaptor the problem then? Is it stuck at max 40mb/s? Can you get a better one?

Thanks AndyC, looks like a nice drive.

Yeh my SATA drive falls off at the end as well, nothing to worry about.

Looks very nice cavemanoc, is the burst speed always low on SCSI drives, my sata gets 220mb/s. That must have been quite an expensive setup, how much did it set you back and what SCSI controller do you have? I am contemplating buying a SCSI card and drive second hard but have been put off by cost of the RAID cards. Is it worth me getting a 10k cheetah for windows and putting all my other stuff on my SATA II hitachi deskstar?
