Re: hard drive question

You will need a scsi interface card for your mb.
Adaptec and others have such an interface card that will suit your needs.

A Raptor by definition is an SATA drive, not SCSI.

I'll give you this though, it is essentially a SCSI disk with a different interface.

But a Raptor is not a SCSI drive. It's SATA.

I was only clarifying.
