This is the PCI card that came out of my "ghetto HTPC";




Says "SCSI (little diamond shape) SE" on it below the connector on the front of the card....

On the PCB itself, the black connector is much like an IDE connector, but a fair bit longer, and as a result, has more pins...

Whats it do?

 

i reckon it's a SCSI card

 

Well I gathered that - what is an SCSI card, and wht does it do?

I think there pretty much only used on servers now, for connecting external arrays and tapedrives etc etc

 

Ta

So probably no real use to me then? Not much point keeping it then

 

It's a SCSi card, some hard drives were used on scsi, tape drives etc, you don't need it so flog it on e-bay and get a decent camera

 

I still use SCSI In a HotSwap RAID 5 using 10,000rpm Seagate's Cheetah drives.
I would run them through prefrence unless cost makes them unviable
