Solve : Replace IDE Hard Drive with SCSI?

Answer»

I have a U160 RAID controller and a PAIR of 68pin SCSI drives laying around that I was thinking of installing in my computer. The idea is to replace my IDE Hard drive with the SCSI drives and set up a mirrored partition. The drives are 18GB so they'd only be good for my Windows but here's what I'm thinking:

1. 10K drives will certainly improve OS PERFORMANCE, right?
2. Will the RAID 1 slow down any improvements I might notice from adding the 10K drives?
3. Is U160 fast?
4. How do I terminate the SCSI connection on the RAID CARD that will be outside of the PC?

Thanks for the help,

PO1. Possibly, depends on applications being used.
2. No it won't make it run slower, or it shouldn't.
3. I assume 160 refers to the MB/s? If so it's better than a 133MB/s IDE but slower than a 300MB/s SATA-II.
4. Disable it in DEVICE Manager? If it comes up there.
