Re: filmscanners: Best solution for HD and images
But they don't!
I have a RAID0+1 array of four 30G IBM 7200 drives.
At today's prices, those drives would cost £90 each inc VAT, making £360.
A single 73G 7200 SCSII drive costs £650! SCSII drives are restricted to
18, 36 and 73G so I couldn't find a 60GB one to compare.
So a whole RAID array with the speed and safety advantages costs just
more than half as much as a single SCSII drive of similar capacity.
All these prices were taken from www.insight.com/uk
