mmogamr Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I was browsing around ebay and stuff and found some decently priced SSDs, so I thought I'd look more into them, and I can't figure out how to use them in a normal personal computer. I saw that this particular one plugged into a scsi 80pin port, so i looked for an scsi controller, and all that I could find were 68 pin, so I found a sca adapter to make the 80 pin ssd connect to the controller, but then I realized the scsi controller plugs into a pci-x slot, which I'm guessing wouldn't work the same a pci slot. Is there some easier way that I am missing or what to run a ssd? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turophiliac Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Is there some easier way that I am missing or what to run a ssd? um, yeah, plug it into a SATA port... every one i've ever seen uses a SATA cable to plug into a SATA port.

The Smith Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 where are you finding ssds that run on the scsi interface? Here is one. To the OP: Look here. There are plenty of them using the SATA interface. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
