They are both at 15K RPM and needs a special interface card to connect them to the computer system unlike IDE and SATA disks. From what I know SCSI disks are the popular ones between these disk systems, but what sort of people purchases a SAS disk instead of SCSI ? I noticed a SAS disk especially made for MAC PRO users, is that the difference ? Appreciates some help in this from our members and visitors. __________________ Intel i7 920 2,67 Ghz clocked to 3,22 Ghz 6 Gb Ram with Velociraptor 10K RPM system disk Dual Boot Windows XP 64-bit and Windows 7
