  • ? About IDE and SCSI HDDs..

    I'm just wondering out of curiousity, why can you get IDE Harddrives with 20GB, 60GB, 80GB etc. capacity, but with SCSI you can only get 9GB, 36GB and 73GB? Why such awkward numbers?

      While that may or may not be true (I wouldn't know), was that the question?

        because they read and write at the same time and they dont store data the same way IDE drives do, the platters are setup a little differently

              I'd rather get an awesome monitor than spend so much on a Harddrive

              Thanks for the replies people.
