Thanks mate!  got all the info I need from those web pages.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Having recently suffered a hard disk fault, I would like to know more about <br />
SCSI cards and drives before I buy a replacement. I need a recommendation<br />
and some info...<br />
<br />
I have adaptec 2940UW + 2x 36GB UW scsi hard disks + 2x scsi ultra cdrom drives.<br />
<br />
It seems hard to find a replacement old UW hard disk on Ebay and I can't afford to<br />
buy any new scsi drives. But I saw some Ultra 160 and 320 drives for sale and also<br />
some adaptec cards. <br />
<br />
What is the difference in connectors between the drives I have and those Ultra3<br />
drives (what does 160 and 320 mean). Do I need special cables for those drives<br />
and would they work off my 2940UW card or would I need to buy some other<br />
scsi controller card?<br />
What is the cheapest option going to be?<br />
Thanks for any advice! &nbsp;(don't feel you need to answer all these questions in order<br />
for me to accept an answer.<br />
Cheers!<br />

Info - definition of different types of scsi

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
