I often try out (installing) Linux distributions, so this is an I/O intensive operation (writing to the drive).
Would using SCSI drive significantly improve the installing time? (halve it?)
FYI currently I use Seagate 7200.7 80 GB and to get full 3 GB install takes around ~10 to 20 minutes.
Motherboard is Abit KG7-Raid which doesn't have inbuilt SCSI adapter, so I have to buy a separate adapter. CPU is Athlon XP 2400+ with 512 MB RAM.
And the drive I want to get is probably Seagate Cheetah 15K.3: 18 GB, 15,000 prm Ultra320 SCSI http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/marketing/detail/0,1081,619,00.html
