Centris 650 internal SCSI vs external SCSI speed - same?
Posted by: 1200XL M.U.L.E. on 2023-03-14 23:16:31
I am currently using a ZuluSCSI Mini v1.0 on my Centris 650. It connects to the 25 pin port on the back of the machine. Would I see faster R/W speeds if I used an internal ZuluSCSI device connected to the 50 pin ribbon cable? Or do these two ports perform identically?

Thanks! 🙂

Hum, they should be identical on that machine. Perhaps there are more errors happening due to a bad cable? Not sure.

Same speed - they are the same bus.

The Quadra 950 is the odd one that has two SCSI buses.
