Re: [Digital BW] Re: Better Storage, was Better Scans

Helene,

I always thought that the ultra SCSI were best for Photoshop work (the
scratch disk reads and writes and wears down cheap hard drives), and I know
they have a faster transfer rate.  But as I was looking into this last night
I read on the apple site that the ultra SCSI's are also the ones to use for
RAID configurations.  IDE (ATA) are cheap, ultra SCSI's are not.

I definately want the Ultra SCSI for photoshop, but for the RAID? I don't
know yet... more research is in order.
