SCSI in onother room

[elle]

I bought myself some screaming scsi Cheetah\'s. However they make too much noise ofr the studio environment.

I could put them in the next room either on a fast ethernet connected PC or via a long scsi cable directly connected to my gigaDAW.

What is to be preferred performancewise?
- sustain rate
- access times
- reliability

thx

Hi Elle,

Another option would be to leave the SCSI disks and CPU(s) together in one room and run long USB/PS-2/VGA monitor cables to your control room/work area. This would be a lot cheaper and more reliable than running long SCSI cables. Also, depending on what flavor of SCSI you use, you may not be able to run long SCSI cables.

Thx Doug,
Yes I forgot the Belkin option. That would performance-wise be the best solution I suppose.
